November 12, 2019 – A first positive test will not result in disciplinary action, according to the policy. However, if a student tests positive a second time, there will be repeated drug testing during that student’s enrollment and they’ll face a 10-day suspension. If a student tests positive a third time, the student and parent will have to meet with school officials and the student could be expelled. A refusal to take a test will be considered a positive test.
“I think this is a good step in the right direction,” Badin parent and public school teacher Chris Maraschiello told FOX19 NOW. “I think the school community should embrace it.” School officials say they hope the policy will further promote a drug-free environment at Badin.
