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.
