Cache school board adopts student drug testing
By The Associated Press

CACHE - The Cache school board has voted unanimously to begin a random drug testing policy for students who take part in extracurricular activities.

Superintendent Randy Batt says the testing is the result of drug dogs finding marijuana in cars in the school parking lot.

Students who test positive for drugs a first time will be removed from extracurricular activities until completing a drug treatment or counseling program. A second offense carries a 14-day suspension from activities and another drug counseling program.

A third offense would mean suspension from activities for 88 days or until the end of the school year — whichever is longer.

Batt says about 140 schools in Oklahoma currently have a drug testing program.
