The school district said that if drugs or alcohol were found on a students test,they would be suspended...As if students WANT to be at school. Do they really think this is a punishment or infact LEGAL? What a joke my state has become. Prime for the raping of every single resident and a perfect stepping stone into more control and less freedom [/quote] No, they won't be suspended just loose privileges probably like participating in sports or other activities. [/quote] Oooo well that makes sense. Suspended them from the sports teams that keep them busy after school so they have nothing to do now and can smoke even more pot and drink even more alcohol than usual. Very smart thinking process behind this idea [/quote] IDK, it would suck being the star football player then getting booted off for being drunk. I like the idea, I'm surprised parents were against it. There should be a penalty, just like how some work places require drug testing or they get fired. School should prepare them for the real world. [/quote]
Original Message
A New Jersey school district is proposing random alcohol and drug testing for thousands of high school students who could lose school privileges and be forced to undergo counseling if they test positive.
Parents protested at a school board meeting Monday, where a preliminary plan was outlined that would affect 5,000 students at the Demarest and Old Tappan high schools.
The district says students would not be suspended and the drug test results would not go on their disciplinary records, but the penalties and loss of privileges become more severe if additional positive results are discovered.
The school says it hopes the policy acts as a deterrent for students against drugs and alcohol.
