Student drug testing takes a place on the agenda Monday when Paris Independent
School District trustees meet.
More than a year in the making, drug testing for students participating in
extracurricular activities is expected to receive final passage when the board
meets at 5:30 p.m. in the administration building. If approved, the
policy would require students in grades seven through 12 who compete in
school-sponsored competitive activities to be placed in a pool for random drug
testing.
The policy represents a change from a proposed policy discussed a year ago that
called for high school students to be tested prior to the first day of practice
for a competitive activity.
Trustees also are to consider revisions to the district's discipline management
plan.
Other agenda items include: administrative reports; superintendent
recommendations regarding professional personnel; resolution regarding review of
the district's investment program; professional services contract with the law
firm Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson; resolution approving independent
sources of instruction relating to investment responsibilities; interlocal
participation agreement for worker's compensation insurance; Upper East Texas
Tech Prep/School-To-Work Partnership agreement; nomination of Texas Association
of School Board director for Region 8; board member committee assignments, and
budget information.
