"Vernonia School District v. Acton": Suspicionless Drug Testing.
Rossow, Lawrence F.; Stefkovich, Jacqueline
West's Education Law Quarterly, v5 n1 p39-51 Jan 1996
In "Acton," the Supreme Court upheld a local school board policy calling for the random, suspicionless drug testing of interscholastic student athletes. The Supreme Court reasoned that student athletes have a low expectation of privacy; the scope of the search was relatively unobtrusive; and the program served an important government interest.
