California Testing Programs Student & Athletic

Drug abuse not only interferes with a student's ability to learn, but it can also disrupt the teaching environment, affecting other students as well. Drug testing is one of several tools that schools can use as part of a comprehensive drug prevention effort. Administrators in schools with an student drug testing program view testing as a deterrent and believe that it gives students a reason to resist peer pressure to use drugs.

Drug testing can identify students who have started using drugs so that interventions can occur early, or identify students who already have drug problems, and refer them for assessment and treatment. Schools have the option of randomly testing specific groups of students. Such groups typically include student athletes, students involved in extracurricular competitive activities, and students who, along with their parents, provide written consent to be voluntarily tested.

Why is it important to prevent drug use at a young age?

A. Those using marijuana by their senior year were 8 times more likely to use it at age 35 than those who had not tried it by the 12th grade.

Is it legal to drug test students in a public school?

A. The Supreme Court ruled in 1995 that schools could randomly test student athletes who are not suspected of drug use. In 2002 it was ruled that all students who participate in voluntary activities, like cheerleading, band, or debate, could be subjected to random tests as well.
