If You Think Mass Drug Tests Are Dandy for Teachers and Students, Think Again.
Sendor, Benjamin
American School Board Journal, v174 n4 p26-27 Apr 1987
Discusses two recent court cases highlighting the legal pitfalls facing mandatory drug testing programs for teachers and students. In both cases, the courts contended that blanket testing policies violated Fourth Amendment protection from unreasonable search and seizure. Testing of individual teachers and students (under reasonable suspicion) may be permissable. (MLH)
