Old Business OLD BUSINESS In keeping with the Wappingers Central School District Board of Education’s commitment to promoting a safe and substance-free learning environment, authorization is given for school administration, school health personnel, and school resource officers to use both “active” and/or “passive” alcohol detection devices at all school sponsored events and activities, whether conducted on or off school grounds as well as on school premises during the instructional day. Screening for alcohol consumption may be required of any student or guest at all school sponsored events and activities or of any student on school premises during the instructional day, at any time based upon reasonable suspicion that (s)he is under the influence. It is not the purpose of this policy to conduct random testing of students.

FIRST READING OF PROPOSED POLICY – 5312.3 USE OF ALCOHOL SCREENING DEVICES


The school district reserves the right to require, as a condition of attendance at extracurricular events, consent by the student and the parent to such testing, which consent will be confirmed by acknowledgment of the student’s receipt of the Code of Conduct. Students who do not cooperate will be required to leave the activity immediately in the custody of his/her parent or guardian. Students who test positive for any level of alcohol will not be allowed to remain in attendance at the event. Students who test positive will be required to leave in the custody of his/her parent or guardian and will be disciplined according to the Student Code of Conduct. No refunds will be provided to these students or their guests. There will be, where practical, two people present when the alcohol sensor test is administered. When practical the student will have two opportunities to take the alcohol sensor test. The initial test may be administered at any time. A second test may be conducted fifteen minutes after the first test has completed. The results of both alcohol sensor tests will be documented. All alcohol sensor tests will be conducted in a secure location, to the extent possible, away from other students. New Business CONSENT AGENDA ITEM # 12.0 A
