Schools reporting success with voluntary drug testing AUSTIN (AP) — Successful re ports from four school districts us ing voluntary drug-testing programs have led other districts to mull over similar programs for their student athletes next year, officials say. The Belton, Longview, Pfluger- ville and Temple school districts said their programs worked well during the football season. A mandatory program instituted by the Hawkins school district for all students in ex tracurricular activities also has been reported as successful. Eddie Joseph of the Texas High School Coaches Association said the programs seem to be working well. “A lot of school districts have got ten interested in the idea in the last few months,” he said. “I think it is going to really catch on across the state.” Joseph estimated that as many as 100 school districts are seriously studying voluntary drug-testing pro grams for students in extracurricu lar activities. Joseph also said he expects the coaches association to endorse the concept of voluntary testing within the next few months. “We’re not saying there are a lot of dopeheads in athletics, but it would be naive to say we don’t have any student using drugs,” Joseph told the Dallas Morning News. “This is just facing reality.” School officials in the four dis tricts testing for drugs report that 90 to 100 percent of their athletes are voluntarily participating in the ran dom exams. At the schools using voluntary drug tests, names of athletes agreeing to participate are placed in a pool. Every three or four weeks, a handful of names is randomly se lected for urine tests, which are con ducted by private laboratories. Students testing positive for drugs would be suspended from their ex tracurricular activities and ordered to undergo drug counseling. A stu dent would be removed from activ- ites for the school year if subsequent tests are also positive. Each of the school districts using the programs said none of the stu dents who underwent drug tests showed positive results. John Blocker, athletic director of the Pfiugerville school district, which began tests this fall, said 240 out of 250 students in football, basketball and volleyball agreed to participate. Ten of the students have been randomly tested and all results were negative. Another 25 to 30 students will be tested through the remainder of the school year. Temple has tested a dozen foot ball players this fall and none were found to be using drugs. In Belton and Longview, which are in their second and thircT years of testing, respectively, no instances of drug use were found this fall. In its three years of drug testing, Longview has found one student who tested positive for drugs, said Superintendent B.L. Davis. 30 % OFF Yv lr fV All Items In The Store Pre-Holiday Clearance Sale -s Sale Ends 11/29 PiGP 1 imports Associate m Stsro MANOR EAST MALL (adjacent to ( lot hworld) TEXAS AVENUE AT VILLA MARIA • BRYAN, TX I0am-7pm weekdays—I0an» to <*pm Sat.
