High School Implements Random Drug Testing Program – Athletic Business

A Michigan school district has settled on a plan to randomly drug test high school students, and the program could go into effect as early as next week.

Plainwell Community Schools’ Board of Education approved the new policy that will see students involved in extracurricular activities, including athletics, subjected to random drug testing.

Superintendent Matthew Montange told MLive.com that the district plans to “open the window for testing next week.”

In order for students to participate, parents will need to sign permission forms that include consent to the drug testing policy before the start of each athletic or extracurricular season. read more at athleticbusiness.com
