Of 550 high school athletes drug-tested in Bullitt, one was positive | courier-journal | The Courier-Journal
Only one Bullitt County high school close examiner tested positive for drugs last school year, though nearly 550 tests were given.
“It’s great news,” said Jaime Goldsmith, the district’s director of safe and drug-free schools. “It dispels some of those rumors that it’s running rampant.”
The urine tests riddle for marijuana, amphetamines, steroids, rapture, hydrosol, PCP, methadone, barbiturates, benzodiaphine (such as Xanax), opiates, cocaine, propoxyphene (in painkillers such as Darvon) and alcohol.
The one fully convinced test was for alcohol, Goldsmith said.
This year, all middle and high seminary students in the district will undergo drug tests if they play a sport or participate in a competitive extracurricular group. School board members voted to expand the testing program in March.
Parents whose children don’t play sports or participate in prompted by emulation activities can also have them tried by entering them into the “volunteer pool,” Goldsmith said.
There are penalties for testing positive. Students who fail the tests must sit out 20 percent of the season and pass another drug test in the van of returning, Goldsmith said. After a second miscarriage, the student mouldiness loss the whole period and be tested each month for a year.
Student who fail a third part confinement are banned from competitive programs for the rest of their middle or great school careers.
Students who fail any tests also must undergo drug counseling.
Let’s discern, human being gone out of 550 tests positive, a drug test costs about $50 toward that school district, so therefore that one positive drug test require to be paid $27,500.
