OASD developing random drug testing program at intermediate and high schools
Implementation, if approved by school board, impacts more than student-athletes Directors of the Oconomowoc Sports Booster Club, during the group’s monthly meeting Wednesday evening at the high school, were given an overview of the random drug testing program being developed by the district’s administrative staff.

Students in grades seven through 12 will be included. Also included are students requesting parking privileges at the high school, which, Dawes pointed out, means that approximately 70% of all students will be covered by the policy. Parents of students who participate in sports and the other activities and programs must provide their consent to the testing. Absent parental consent, a student will not be eligible to participate in those activities or programs. Recognizing... read more
