Alcohol and drug testing
The district has received a $1.2 million alcohol prevention grant. The vast
majority of the funds will be spent on enhancing the high school health
curriculum and instruction. As a small part of the grant, an alcohol and drug
testing program will be piloted with student athletes. It is important to know
that saliva, not urine, will be tested. The consequences for a positive test
will a parent meeting, including an opportunity to explain if a medication could
have caused a false positive, and those already prescribed by the Utah High
School Activities Association for alcohol or drug use.
