Alcohol and/or Drug
Testing
Posted: August 24, 2010
When school staff suspect
that a student may be under
the influence of alcohol and
/or drugs, the student will
be escorted to the school
nurse where a school
administrator and school
nurse will assess the
student to determine whether
there are reasonable grounds
for suspecting the student
is under the influence of
alcohol and/or drugs. If
reasonable grounds exist to
suspect the student may be
under the influence of
alcohol or drugs, the
student will be asked to
submit to an oral fluids
test and/or breath scan
test.
Students who refuse to
submit to an oral fluids
test and/or breath scan test
will be deemed insubordinate
in violation of the
District’s student conduct
rules. Refusal to submit to
such tests may also be
deemed an admission by the
student that the student is
guilty of violating this
policy.
If the test(s) is positive,
the student’s
parents/guardians will be
promptly contacted regarding
the test(s) results and to
provide medical services as
necessary and appropriate.
Parents/guardians wishing to
contest the results of a
drug test may independently,
and at their own expense,
have their child re-tested
at the Treatment
Alternatives for Safe
Communities (TASC) office
located in Edwardsville,
provided, however, that the
student report to the TASC
office within thirty minutes
of the student leaving the
school building.
Discontinuation of the Illinois Consumer Education Proficiency Test
(ICEPT)
Posted: August 19, 2010
Public Act 96-1061 removed a provision requiring the
state to offer a consumer education proficiency test that allowed a
pupil to be excused from the requirement that he or she receives
consumer education instruction. Therefore, ICEPT is no longer offered.
