TEACHER DRUG TESTING IS RARE
Only three of 14 school districts surveyed in central Wisconsin drug
test teachers before hiring them and none conducts random or
scheduled drug tests after employees are hired, according to a
Gannett Central Wisconsin Media survey.
Of the districts reviewed, the D.C. Everest Area, Medford and Stevens
Point districts are the only ones that check if prospective teachers,
administrators and support staff have consumed drugs shortly before
hire. About 2,325 of the roughly 5,900 people employed by the 14
school districts -- roughly 39 percent -- passed drug tests before
they were hired.
Other school districts surveyed were Abbotsford, Antigo, Athens,
Auburndale, Colby, Marathon, Marshfield, Merrill, Mosinee, Stratford
and Wausau.
