Student Drug Addiction & School Drug Testing Kits
Drug Testing Programs for Students at Schools
With due respect to people who are most vigilant about constitutional rights, they fail to win the argument against testing for drug use in public schools. The courts have said such testing is not an infringement, and indeed it would be peculiar to have had rulings to the contrary.
Yet, raising the issue of constitutionality is nearly assured whenever a school district institutes drug testing, as Atherton seems poised to do very soon. Among objections voiced at a school board meeting this week was that of violating Fourth Amendment protection against unwarranted searches and seizures.
Atherton, following similar programs in Grand Blanc, Lake Fenton and Clio, wants to begin random testing of 20 percent of student athletes each month by a company that will be paid $20 to $25 per test, depending on which is selected.
The motivation clearly seems to be protection of the health and safety of the athletes who are exposed to extra danger by virtue of their competitive physical activities, rather than to nab anyone breaking the law. (continues below...)

Nor does the Atherton proposal seem harsh, although details are still under formulation. It reasonably suggests that those who test positive be eliminated from athletics for a limited period, or at least initially submit to drug counseling. Athletic participation is always an option anyway, never mandatory or required as a graduation credit.
Still, imposing mandatory testing is a bold step for a school district, which possibly subjects board members and administrators to criticism and disapproval that most would rather avoid.
But once implemented, the tests are well received. Since Grand Blanc became the first in this area to give the tests - winning a lawsuit along the way that attempted to have the tests ruled illegal - objections have died down to such an extent that only a handful protested to the Atherton board.
Experience has shown that parents, along with the tested students, approve of drug testing as a way to fortify resistance to peer pressures to use drugs, and to help those who are tempted to avoid use. If a student is found using, parents who otherwise might not have even been aware are given a stronger hand for intervention.
Civil rights advocates who still find these programs legally objectionable are encouraged to remain on guard. But so far in this area, there has been no indication of abuse.
