Making Sense of Student Drug Testing
WHO SAYS NO TO RANDOM DRUG TESTING?
There has been a groundswell of opposition to random drug testing
among school officials, experts, parents, and state legislatures.
School Officials and Parents Say No to Drug Testing
We stopped testing because “we didn’t think it was the
deterrent that we thought it would be…we didn’t think
it was as effective with the money we spent on it.”
– Scott Dahl, Vice President of School Board in Guymon, Oklahoma
We decided not to drug test because “it’s really a
parental responsibility…it is not our job to actually
test [students].”
– Harry M. Ward, Superintendent in Matthews County, Virginia
“The concerns of parents [in opposing a student
drug testing proposal] have ranged from the
budgetary issues to losing our focus on education
to creating a threatening environment.”
– Laura Rowe, President of Band Aids, parent association
of the HS band program in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin
“We object to the urine-testing policy as an unwarranted
invasion of privacy. We want schools to teach
our children to think critically, not to police them.”
– Hans York, Parent and Deputy Sheriff in Wahkiakum, Washington
“I would have liked to see healthy community
participation that stimulates thoughtful interaction
among us. Instead, this [drug testing] policy was
steamrolled into place, powered by mob thinking.”
– Jackie Puccetti, Parent in El Paso, Texas
Educators and School Officials
The majority of school officials – including administrators, teachers,
coaches, school counselors, and school board members – have
chosen not to implement drug testing programs. They object to
drug testing for a variety of reasons, including the cost of testing,
the invasion of privacy, and even the unfair burden that student
drug testing places on schools, with their concerns rooted in
knowledge and experience about students. For many educators
and school officials, drug testing simply fails to reflect the reality
of what works to establish safe school environments.

| TESTIMONIALS |
|
I thank you for your help in figuring out which product was suitable for me. I was an
everyday smoker, but was abstinent for 10 days and had another week before I had to report
for the test.
It was at a commercial testing facility where there was some waiting time. The 45 minute
tablet worked miracles though. Recommend it to your site viewers!
