Floresville Independent School District students who participate in extracurricular activities or park on campus could soon face random drug testing under a proposed policy intended to curb peer pressure. The district, which serves some 4,000 students in and around the Wilson County seat, outlined the idea at two recent community forums amid considerable online debate in social media forums, offering it as a prevention measure to discourage illegal drug use.
Corporal punishment? Some area school systems will neither use it nor lose it. A positive test result would be disclosed only to the student, the student’s parent and designated school officials, who would then schedule a conference to determine a response. Refusal to provide a sample or noncompliance with the testing procedures would be considered a positive test result.
What our parents want’: NEISD board considers making high school health class optional Floresville ISD estimates that it would cost about $3,400 to test 100 students per year. Some on social media argued that the money should be used to support classrooms and instruction instead. Others expressed support for the measure and said it should be implemented in school systems across Texas to fight juvenile drug use.
