What happens if a student has a positive drug test?

  • The positive tests are confirmed by a highly accurate scientific process and then reviewed by a physician who consults with the student to insure that the test is accurate and that there is no valid reason the student is testing positive from legitimate prescription drug use.
  • A positive drug test will be used to help students get counseling or treatment.
  • The results are not turned over to law enforcement, and they are not part of any record sent to colleges.
  • The results are strictly confidential under federal and/or state law. 
  • Schools that implement proper policies provide checks and balances to ensure the integrity of the program and the dignity of the students.
