It's why we elect school boards - to establish policy for our schools. Uh, wait, -- Reality check.
July 26, 2007 - Last year, the Churchill County School District Board of Trustees approved a policy to test district employees who are suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs in the workplace. The result was a 23-page draft of administrative regulations.
Board President Greg Koenig said Monday that teacher union representative Margie Villanueva wants the administrative regulations condensed from its current 23 pages to eight pages.The draft document that came before the board at a recent meeting outlines the process for testing a school district employee and the consequences if an employee is found to be under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs while working. It also includes forms for district employees that give permission for testing and acknowledge they have read and understand the policy.
"The association is going to look at the eight pages and if they agree on it, it's going to come before the board," Koenig said.
TT - And if they don't agree?
Be sure to read how a teacher who arrived for school was drunk, given a preliminary breath test and then was driven home by the police officer without ever administering any other tests required to prosecute.
In May, a board trustee was told to shut down his blog when he confirmed the incident.
