Education,Drug Tests

Floresville Independent School District will move forward with a proposal to randomly drug test 7th through 12th-grade students. The school board unanimously approved the idea on Wednesday night, but parents have given the decision mixed reviews.

“Drugs are bad for students, and we do not want any of that in our schools,” said a former Floresville ISD parent who asked to remain anonymous. “Has there been an uprise in students getting caught with stuff, like why, what is the reason, I’d like to know, and I don’t think that was ever answered,” said Dora Alonso.

A second failed drug test comes with a 30-day suspension, and that punishment increases to 90 days for a third failed test. Failing a fourth test means the student will be removed from all extracurricular activities.
