JASPER GETS TOUGH!

[shooter]

Jasper will drug test all student-athletes and students who drive vehicles to school. They have also enacted a tougher dress code "common dress" for students in grades 5-12. I applaud the district. What do you think the impact of this will be, and should more school move in this direction?

[Bucof2010]

Why are they ponly drug testing students that drive?

[Guest etbu]

We (Huffman) started that three years ago and works OK but wish they could drug test the little junkies that raise cain. Heck Huffman made a rule this year that if you failed your Taks cannot drive next year.  :-\

Why are they ponly drug testing students that drive?

Because they can't insitute a blanket testing policy.  Driving, like extracurricular activities,  is a privlege.

[Kville4life]

kirbyville has also been doin this for the past two years..

[Bucof2010]

Driving isn't a privelege as far as the school is concerned. They have nothing to do with driving. Am I wrong?

Would it be better to say "parking on school premesis is a privelege"

[Hotrodg]

Right.  Just like the school has nothing to do with sports in general, just the school teams.

This is harsh.

[Guest EagleFan01]

They have Newton students from K-12 wearing uniforms next year too... Alot of the students are not happy with it, but if they want to act like a bunch of hoodlems then this what they get for acting this way...

[Campee]

We had dress codes when I was in school, but this is going to be hard to follow and harder to enforce.  Good luck to all.
