The School District Board of Education for Juneau has unanimously approved drug testing for high school athletes.
The board approved a final mandatory drug-testing policy at a special meeting Monday evening. The board also discussed drug-testing rules and regulations at length.
Under the new policy, students may be tested for alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, nicotine, opiates, oxycodone, methamphetamine and steroids.
Superintendent Glenn Gelbrich says he is working with medical
professionals to determine appropriate maximum levels, which will be set prior to policy implementation.
