STUDENT DRUG TESTING - PASS OR FAIL?
Random drug testing is an essential element in preparing students for what
lies ahead in future employment, some area school officials say.
But one federal judge in Amarillo deemed the Tulia district's program, which
tests all seventh through twelfth graders involved in extracurricular
activities, unconstitutional under Amendment IV. The amendment protects
against unreasonable searches and seizures without probable cause.
Four districts in this area have random drug testing programs in place,
although all are not exactly alike. They include Bridge City, Deweyville,
Evadale and Little Cypress-Mauriceville school districts.
