School Drug Testing Kits & Student Drug Addiction
High School Random Drug Testing & Drug Testing Kits
With no hesitation and a few opposition all five members of Pauls Valley’s school board voted this week to start drug testing all junior high and high school students taking part in extracurricular activities.
The move expected for weeks now means the former policy of only testing athletes will expand at the start of the 2006-2007 school year to include all students participating in the extra activities.
“We are simply going to expand our present drug testing policy,” Superintendent Bobby Russell said.“It will probably double the number of students presently being tested,” he said.
The policy being revised — one calling for the testing of athletes — was approved by the local school board back in 2001. At the time this was the one area where testing was allowed.
A short time later a U.S. Supreme Court decision opened the door for local boards to include all students taking part in any extracurricular activity.
That’s exactly what the board here did during a regular meeting earlier this week.

“I’ve not had anybody contact me since the last meeting,” Russell said, referring to any public input since the topic returned to the forefront last month.
“It’s my recommendation we approve the new policy put together by the committee and presented to you at the last meeting,” he said to board members.
“All extracurricular students will be give a policy prior to them leaving this spring.”
The superintendent stresses the policy for students in grades 7-12 is not intended to police students but instead serve more as another tool for them to combat potential drug usage.
“The policy is really there to help the students,” Russell said.
“We’re providing another avenue for them to say no and stay off drugs.”
The expansion came after school officials decided it was time to take a look at revising the policy already in place.
A committee made up of seven members eventually recommended the policy include all extracurricular students starting in the seventh grade.
It will include such activities as band, chorus, academic teams, FFA, cheerleaders and pom squad.
As with the athletes, the $15 lab fee for any students being initially tested will be paid by the students. That test will have to come before a student participates in his or her activity.
After the initial testing scattered throughout the school year, there will be monthly random testing from among the group of students undergoing the first round of tests.
The cost for the random tests will be absorbed by the school district, which runs from $15 to $50 or more.
The random testing will be done by a laboratory independent of the school district.
