The school community wants a safe and healthy environment for all students. Schools need to do everything possible to deter students from using alcohol and other drugs.
Alcohol use is illegal, violates school policy, and interferes with the learning process.
We need to help students and their parents say NO to this negative influence and we need to be proactive in identifying students who will benefit from a referral to a community treatment agency. Consequently, the CAC endorsed this addition. If the student tests positive, parents will be notified immediately. Consequences for violating the Alcohol and Other Drug Policy will be determined in accordance with applicable sanctions as outlined in the Student Handbook. If a student refuses to take the breathalyzer test, the case will be referred to the Police Department at Illinois State University.
