  Case: Drug Testing
In the state of Georgia, teachers are not obligated to do drug testing prior to entering the career. Also, they do not have random drug testing throughout their years of teaching. Do you guys think this is safe for the students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
There may not be random drug testing for teachers in the state of Georgia, but if administration has a concern they are allowed to request that the teacher submit to a drug test. I know this has happened before in my county.

Comments: I agree that testing should only be used if it's deemed necessary by administration. It is a financial burden to the state to test everyone.

Comments: I think it's important to test initially for the safety of the students. I mean even Publix tests! And that's just a grocery store.... There are very inexpensive simple tests that can be done.

Comments: I don't think most teachers would be abusing substances and it would be a waste of precious funds to drug test everyone. It can safely be reserved for when there is cause to suspect, like you mentioned.

Comments: If suspicion or issues arise then absolutely a drug test may be warranted. I'm thinking it's an economic decision not to drug test, however with all the controversy surrounding the legalization of certain plants, in the future this may become an issue that needs to be addressed.
