PLAINWELL, Mich. (WOOD) — Plainwell Community Schools is thinking about requiring random drug testing for high school students who participate in extracurricular activities.
The proposed plan would implement random testing of students who participate in sports, club activities, National Honor Society and musicals. The district would randomly test 10% of the students who participate in those programs, which is about 350 kids.
The test is a five-panel test that costs about $5. It looks for nicotine, THC, opioids, cocaine and methamphetamine.
The test would be overseen by the districts’ athletic trainer, who is hospital certified. A decision on the proposal is expected to be decided at the next school board meeting on Nov. 18.
