Bushland Independent School District said testing is required before kids can participate in a slew of extracurricular activities—including football, theatre, choir and even the chess club.
Students of a Texas school district must drug tests before they are allowed to take part in certain extracurricular activities—including football, choir and chess.
Testing is required before kids can participate in a slew of activities, including football, theater, cheerleading, cross country, basketball, volleyball, wrestling, track, power-lifting, chess, band, choir, debate, gaming club, yearbook and student council. District superintendent Chris Wigington told KVII-TV the policy had been under consideration for roughly a year and denied local schools currently have a drug problem."The board wants to be proactive," he said, before describing extracurricular activities as"privileges not rights."about the drug tests. Another said it sounded like a"giant step in the right direction!"
The policy works on a four-tiered system—with penalties largely consisting of suspensions from competitions, extracurricular activities and parking lasting between 30 and 365 days.
