School board members are expected to debate Monday the random drug testing program that has been in place at the high school for four years.
The board’s education committee met Thursday to draft a recommendation that will be presented to the board.
The committee could recommend continuing, replacing or tweaking the policy.
The school board has asked for public comment on the issue, and posted a three-question survey to which 700 people responded. Respondents were asked if they policy should be continued or discontinued, and were invited to add comments.
They were asked to check if there were any additional measures they would support “in order to deter student drug use.” Choices listed use of a Breathalyzer before, during, or after school/extracurricular events; locker searches; canine search in school facility; canine search in school parking lot or any other ideas.
