What are the types of testing programs?
Random testing is distinguished from for-cause testing because the testing is not based on individualized suspicion that the tested student has used drugs recently. For-cause testing is based on suspicion of use by the tested student. Random testing can be either Mandatory or Voluntary: Mandatory: All students in a designated group are eligible for student drug testing (athletes, participants in extracurricular activities, student drivers, etc.). Voluntary: Students, with parental consent, may choose to be a part of the student drug testing program by signing consent forms or choose not to join the program without penalty.
