I have mixed feelings about this ~ I can understand the concern, but I also see it as violating the students' privacy ~

I need to organize my thoughts before going further ~

Ok, but mandatory drug testing for all teachers, administration, and school board officials… including alcohol and tobacco.

Schools should stick to education, including health education. They have enough to do. If you think a kid has a problem, or is using drugs- talk to the kid, try to help, then call the parents if necessary.

A kid with a drug problem is likely to miss school rather than submit to a drug test.

Stupid.

I would be opposed if this were a public school, but since it's a private Catholic school, I guess it's up to them. When the parents enroll the kids they understand and accept the consequences. It's like those kids who went after the Indian on the Washington Mall. Their parents knew the school was junior league KKK but signed them up anyway.
