Drug Testing Guidlines

Beginning in the 2022-2023 school year, Italy ISD will begin offering annual student drug testing as part of our

comprehensive drug-testing program. Drug and alcohol abuse negatively affect a student’s safety, personal life,

health, and academic performance.

With parental consent, students in grades 7-12 who plan to participate in any school-sponsored extracurricular

activities, as well as student drivers, are encouraged to participate. This program will consist of an initial annual

drug test as well as random testing throughout the school year.

The Italy ISD School Board approved Drug Testing Guidelines and consent form can be found at this

link: Drug Testing Guidlines

All students planning to participate in ANY school-sponsored extracurricular activities, as well as student

drivers, are encouraged to complete their drug testing on Monday, August 1, 2022 from 12:30-4:00 PM in the

Italy High School Cafetorium.

Before a student enrolled in 7th-12th grade may participate in any school-sponsored extracurricular

activities, receive a District parking permit, or drive on campus, both the student and the parent/guardian

shall agree in writing that the student shall submit to the initial annual drug test and subsequent random tests

in accordance with the attached guidelines.

Extracurricular activities include, but are not limited to Athletics, Band, Cheerleading, FFA, Civil Air Patrol,

National Honor Society, National Junior Honor Society, National Art Honor Society, UIL One Act Play, and UIL

academic competitions.
