Central Unified Approves Drug Testing Program
October 26th, 2006 by ddetox
Central Unified is the latest school district to offer parents the chance to sign-up their kids for voluntary drug testing. Central’s school board approved the program last night for its high school students.
Students whose parents agree to put them in the program will be tested on a random basis for substances, including marijuana and alcohol. The school district’s leaders believe the voluntary drug tests will play a role in keeping at least some kids off of drugs.
They say, “We need this program to save lives to build relationships with students and their families. Because there’s drugs out there in the streets and if we can do anything to prevent students from using drugs it s really worth it. ”
Results of the drug tests will be sent to the parents, not the school. The voluntary drug testing program takes effect with the start of the next school year.
