Random Drug Testing Meetings - Random Drug Testing Orientation: Oct. 14 – 6:30 pm Auditorium Oct 15- 6:30 pm Auditorium Oct 17 – 7:30 AM – Auditorium (morning meeting) Most asked questions: • Do students have to attend meeting if they have already attended last year and have no objections to the testing: Policy says they must attend annually. We don’t use a sign in at the meetings, so we only track them by permission to test forms. Bottom line: if we have a permission form we will test them even if they did not attend the meeting. • Can students participate if there is no permission slip on file: NO, once we’ve completed the meetings, students who do not return the form will not be allowed to participate.
