Individual Privacy Protection

Question 1

Drug testing elementary and high school students taking part in athletics and other school programs is valid. In the case of an elementary school, the Court upheld random drug testing of high school athletes. In the subsequent case Board of Education of Independent School District No. 92 of Pottawatomie County et al. v. Earls (2002), the Court extended that ruling to middle and high school students participating in any extracurricular activity.
