HEARD BOTH CHSAA AND NY STATE SECTIONS JUST GOT $$ FROM A GRANT TO DRUG TEST ATHLETES. USING A HAIR SAMPLE METHOD.
TRYING TO GET DETAILS, IMPACT COULD BE BEFORE CHRISTMAS MAYBE AS SOON AS OCTOBER.
Will never happen. The parents don't allow their kids to take state tests never mind taking a drug test. Who gets the results, how are results protected, how long are test results held...on and on. HIPAA, privacy rights do I need to go on.
The Supreme Court has already ruled on this - the general student body cannot be tested, but extracurricular activity participants can.
I think it is a great idea. Whether they do or don't, why not put it out there that they can and may. Maybe somewhat of an added deterrent.
Either way, (real or not), parents, you think something is up, why not just go to your local drug store and get a test. If they haven't done anything whats the harm, especially if you do it in the privacy of your home. Act now, it's never too late, it's your kids for goodness sake.
and for those of you that know or allow your kids to drink, smoke, whatever, what are you waiting for, time is now to man up and be a parent.
