Reporting Bullying - FFI Local Report Discrimination and Harassment – FFH Local School Supply Lists Student Expectations, Handbooks, & Grading Guidelines District Advisory Committee District of Innovation The Resiliency Project Voluntary Random Drug Testing Voluntary Random Drug Testing In Spring 2019, Carroll ISD implemented a Voluntary Random Drug Testing Program for students in grades 7-12. The program is designed to provide support and resources to parents/guardians of participating students, therefore, a positive drug test for a participating student does not result in discipline consequences. The program is strictly voluntary and free of cost to students and families, while serving as a deterrent to illegal drug use and assisting the district in enforcing a drug-free educational environment. The policy approved by the CISD School Board in the fall of 2018 is modeled after a program in Keller ISD, and will serve as a two-year pilot program in Carroll. In order for your child to participate in this program, parent permission is required each school year. The permission form will be available as part of Annual Student Verification in August 2021. Board Policy FNF(LOCAL) can be found here.
