Does you school require random drug screenings for athletes


Recommended Posts

With the proposed bill that would make drug testing a law I was curious to see how many schools already have this in place.  I know CG has this for any sports, band and choir also has it place and if you drive to school you are in the program.

The school I teach at has something very similar to this, if not the exact same.

Same is true in East Allen....New Haven, Leo, Woodlan, and Heritage.

My daughter had to sign a form all 4 years at DeKalb agreeing to possible testing, But I don't know of a single case where it was ever used. In fact, I know of a number of specific cases where the powers that be just turned their heads and did nothing within their power when incidents were reported by teammates, parents, non-coaching staff, etc...

The bathrooms at some of the high schools I have taught had often had a pungent smell.

I am not sure how to ask this with out sounding like I believe it to to true,but I think it is a good  question and  I am not saying that this ishow they got good, but do think it could play a part in.  After all you do not have to live in school system to go to school their any more

I don't think you would be the only one to pose this question or to carry the POSSIBILITY of belief.

We have it in Texas, at the high school my kids attended.  Well, actually I don't believe they did it when my daughter was in h.s. (graduated 2013) but both boys (graduated 2016 & 2018) had to do it.  Unfortunately don't know exactly what they were testing for.  Pretty sure the standard "social drugs" (like the terminology?), but don't recall the boys saying if PED's were included.
