School District says no to random drug testing

School District says no to random drug testing

According to Hamilton School District Superintendent Kathleen Cooke, the administration and parent groups just say no to random drug testing its students.

The Hamilton School Board has been considering random drug testing of students involved in sports and extracurricular activities.

No action was taken at the board's special study session March 14, but Cooke told the board that the district's admin­is­tra­tion opposes ran­dom drug testing.

She said providing more support to Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA) pro­grams and prevention ser­vices would be more effective than random testing.

"We recommend we not jump to random drug testing our students," Cooke said.

She said she had talked with parent-teacher groups, and they had told her that drug testing is best left to parents.

Denise Dorn Lindberg, the district's public information coordinator, said the School Board will now tell the ad hoc committee studying the issue to look into approaches other than random drug testing.

The committee is made up of several Hamilton admin­is­tra­tors and interested par­ents who approached former Ham­il­ton High School Principal Dave Furrer about the issue.

Lindberg said if the com­mit­tee does come up with another recommendation, the School Board might consider it when it takes action on the athletics and activities code of conduct.

Hamilton High School Athletics Director Mike Gosz said the Wisconsin Inter­scho­las­tic Athletic Association doesn't require random test­ing for drugs, including per­for­mance enhancers, because of the tests' cost.

Gosz said a five-panel drug test for marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates and PCP at Oconomowoc Memo­rial Hospital costs $30 per test, and a steroid test costs $300.

School Board member Michael Hyland said student drinking is more of a problem than drug use.

School districts can legally subject a student to a Breath­a­ly­zer test, he said, but if the student drank on a Friday or Saturday night, testing the following Monday morning would be moot.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2002 that school dis­tricts may perform random drug tests on students involved in sports or extra­cur­ric­u­lar activities.

Cooke said the problem of student drug use needs to be addressed for all students, not just those who may be randomly tested legally.

"We believe we have to help our students in a better way than have them give up their Fourth Amendment rights," added Cooke.

The U.S. Constitution's Fourth Amendment protects cit­­izens against "unreasonable searches and seizures" and searches without warrants.

The Hamilton District has a half-time AODA specialist, Kristin Hasbrook, who runs the Get Connected program, which helps parents through their children's ado­les­cent years and offers one-on-one assist­ance to students who use, or are at risk of using, alcohol or drugs.

Lindberg said the district has no more money for its AODA program right now, and will not have any for future use unless it receives a grant.

people are too nosey these days...they need to quit putting the drug using population down, by doing so they are destroying the lives of many, and any chance they have of living a good life by denying them the right to have a job or go to school, there should be laws against even the thought of doing something this retarded(sometimes i think to myself, damn this country is lucky they decided to form the FBI, or else all hell would be breaking loose...and id be right there helping it do so)...however i appluad-prolly spelled wrong- the school that said "no".

Put the power back in the peoples' hands by ending this nanny-state.

Yea i agree with you, taking away the freedom of people who want to smoke herb isn't right. Neither is fining them for it. Also, the school said they dont want to intervene with the students 4th amendment, well isn't the whole nation's righta being violated? Way back alcohol was prohibited, but that stopped because it interferred with the people's rights so alcohol became legal. When will this happen to weed? When will we stand up for our rights? Fight the Prohibition Against Our Weed.
