Are the tests accurate and confidential?
If schools follow basic drug testing procedures students will donate the urine specimen in a private rest room area and there are strict confidentiality procedures that govern the transportation of the specimen and the releasing of test results. No one wants to unfairly accuse a student of drug use. The drug testing procedures in place today eliminate the possibility of a false positive. First, there is a screening test that is then confirmed by a more sensitive test. If the confirmation test is positive it is then reviewed by a physician trained in drug testing who then contacts the student to see if there is a legitimate medical reason for the positive test.
