I understand that it is a privilege and honor, not a right, to be a member of a McKinney ISD cocurricular/extracurricular activity. 

I understand I must conduct myself with the utmost integrity and honesty as a student involved in cocurricular/extracurricular activities in McKinney ISD. I understand that my position as a student involved in cocurricular/extracurricular activities means that I am held to a higher standard of behavior, and therefore, may receive greater, different, and/or additional consequences than those outlined in the MISD Student Code of Conduct, regardless of whether such conduct occurs on or off school property, at a school sponsored or school-related event, or involves social media on and/or off campus. 

I understand and agree that consequences assigned under this contract will be assigned at the discretion and determination of the director, teacher, or coach and/or the campus administration of the activity , in any hierarchy/order deemed appropriate by the director, teacher, or coach and/or campus administrator , and may include, but are not limited to, disciplinary consequences in, suspension from, removal from and/or prohibition from future participation in one and/or all cocurricular/extracurricular activities in McKinney ISD.  

I understand and agree this contract is in force from the date of my signature through my graduation date from McKinney ISD, whichever occurs later. This contract includes summer, vacation, and holiday days. Disciplinary consequences may be assigned for McKinney ISD co-curricular/extracurricular activities occurring during summer, vacation, holiday days and after my graduation. 

I have read this MISD Cocurricular/Extracurricular Contract, and I understand and agree to all of the terms, processes, and consequences stated herein, including the discretion afforded to the director, teacher or coach and/or the campus administration in determining the consequences assigned under this contract. 

1. The objectives for this program are:

• To allow each student in programs subject to testing to make a commitment against
  drug/alcohol use.

• To provide a deterrent to drug/alcohol use for students in grades 7-12.

• To ensure the health and safety of students participating in an extracurricular activity.

• To provide a drug/alcohol education and counseling program for students who test positive for drug/alcohol use and for those students who are at risk for drug/alcohol use.

• To provide students with a tool to deal with peer pressure.

2. Students in grades 7-12 who participate in extracurricular activities will be required to submit to drug/alcohol testing consistent with this policy. For the purpose of this policy, extracurricular activities include, but are not limited to:

• All UIL activities;

• School-sponsored student groups/clubs/organizations;

• Student Council;

• All elected/appointed student officers; 

Additionally, any student may voluntarily agree to participate in the drug testing program with the written consent of their parents/guardians and the payment of the proper drug/alcohol testing fees.

When the athletic director/sponsor/campus administrator has a reasonable suspicion that a student subject to the program is currently using drugs/alcohol, the athletic director or fine arts director may require the student to submit to a test under this policy. “Reasonable suspicion” means a suspicion of drug/alcohol use based on specific observations made by teachers/coaches/administrators/sponsors of the appearance, speech, or behavior of a student subject to this policy; the reasonable inferences that are drawn from those observations; and/or information of drug/alcohol use by a student subject to this policy supplied to school officials by other students, staff members, or patrons.

3. Prior to engaging in any extracurricular activity which is governed by this policy, a parent/guardian of a student, and the student, must both sign a written consent authorizing drug/alcohol testing of the student. Students who have reached the age of majority, or their disabilities of minority have been removed, will sign the written consent authorizing drug/alcohol testing of the student.

All students covered by this policy will be required to submit to random drug/alcohol testing. Random testing may be conducted at any time. Random testing may be conducted as determined by the Superintendent or the campus principal. The names of all eligible students will be placed in a computer generated “pool.” Random selections from that pool will be conducted by the testing service contracted by the District.

4. Drug/alcohol testing will be done by a nationally certified drug testing laboratory. The District will contract with a certified drug-testing laboratory. The laboratory will follow strict procedures for the chain of custody and access to test results. The laboratory will provide qualified collectors to oversee collection of specimens. The service will provide Medical Review Officer (MRO) services for the interpretation and verification of positive results. The MRO will report all test results to designated school officials. Results will not be provided either orally or in writing to any person who has not been designated by the district to receive results. The District reserves the right to test for prohibited/illegal substances, including but not limited to: alcohol, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, cocaine, methadone, methaqualone, opiates, phencyclidine, steroids, other illegal or addictive drug and any adulterant.

   
   5. Drug/Alcohol Testing will be performed by urinalysis in accordance with accepted practices and procedures as established by the certified drug/alcohol testing laboratory with whom the District contracts. Student privacy will be protected to the greatest extent possible during the collection and coding of urine specimens. Students will provide urine specimens in an empty restroom accompanied by an adult monitor of the same gender. Male students will produce a sample at a urinal, remaining fully clothed with their backs to the monitor. Female students will produce a sample in a closed stall. After the specimen is produced, it will be handed to the monitor.

6. Results of any drug/alcohol test will not be given to law enforcement authorities nor be used for any school district discipline, except as related to applicable activities noted in this policy. Access to written drug/alcohol results will be limited to the following:

• Parent/Guardian

• Student

• Superintendent Designee

Access to verbal notification that a student has tested positive for drug/alcohol use will be provided to the following:

• Principal

• Counselor

• Coach/sponsor of the specific activity in which the student participates at the time of the positive test.

All information related to the testing or the identification of students as a user of illegal drugs/alcohol will be protected by the District and its employees, officers, and agents as confidential, unless otherwise required by law, in response to overriding public health and safety concerns, or as authorized by the parent/guardian or student. The District will destroy the records maintained under this policy in accordance with the District’s records retention schedule.

7. If the drug test indicates positive results, the laboratory will immediately forward the results to its MRO. The MRO will contact the designated school official to report the positive result. The school official will contact the parent/guardian to determine if prescription medication or other legal substances may have caused the positive result. Information obtained from the parent/guardian will be provided to the MRO for review and issuance of
   his/her determination.

Consequences of Positive Testing

Consequences of a FIRST confirmed positive test result shall be as follows:

Refusal to participate in a drug test after signing the consent form shall count as a positive test.

8. Students who are not involved in extracurricular activities, but who voluntarily participate in the district drug testing program with consent of their parent/guardian will be subject to the same consequences for positive tests as set out herein.

9. Students who stop participating in extracurricular activities during the school year must submit a letter to the principal requesting removal from the random drug testing pool.

During the time of any appeal, the consequences outlined herein will remain in effect including but not limited to, suspension and/or removal from all applicable extracurricular activities. If the appeal is resolved in favor of the student, the student will be immediately reinstated to the extracurricular activity. Any drug/alcohol test incident to an appeal, in which the parent/guardian requests retesting, the parent/guardian must submit the appeal within forty-eight (48) hours of confirmation and notification of the positive result. Retesting must be performed by a nationally certified drug/alcohol testing laboratory using the original positive sample, and will be done at the parent/guardian’s expense.
