|Random drug test policy changes proposed
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Recommendation for changes in Holyoke School District's random drug testing (RDT) program were presented to the local school board at its Dec. 15 meeting.
The revised policy will return to the Jan. 19 board meeting for first reading.
Random drug testing was implemented for grade 7-12 participants in extra-curricular activities in the 2008-09 school year.
An outside audit of the RDT program, focusing on the student selection process, was completed this past September. As a result, the original RDT study committee was called back into action to review the recommendations.
After three months of work, the committee's recommendations for change were presented at last week's board meeting by Supt. Bret Miles, board RDT committee representative Kris Camblin and principal Susan Ortner.
Changes recommended
Miles pointed out revisiting the philosophy was an important part of the dialog throughout the process. While the policy includes consequences and provides help for a student who needs it, the committee consensus is the main purpose of the policy is a deterrent.
Whether it's the issue around the bottle of water, changing the consequence for a first offense or record keeping, Miles emphasized the policy revisions are suggested with the student and his or her privacy at the forefront.
Camblin noted a change in the testing, in that all students selected for RDT will be screened for both drugs and alcohol. This past year, that was random, as well.
Camblin highlighted the suggested policy revisions, noting the committee utilized information from students, families, staff and community members to revisit several aspects of the policy. Changes were made in the draft policy after many conversations and careful consideration.
Instead of a bottle of water being taken to the students selected for RDT on a given day, the committee recommended students be called to the office.
They will be informed they will be tested that day and offered a bottle of water. They may choose to use the water or not or to fill up their own water bottle to reduce any unwanted attention to their selection.
A major change in the RDT draft policy centers around consequences for a first positive test. With the intent of the policy being deterrence rather than "catching" students, the committee suggests there not be monthly follow-up tests for a first positive test.
"We felt it was right not to assume that any positive test is necessarily a drug or alcohol problem," said the committee's recommendation.
A student will still be required to provide a clean test, go through the intake process with Centennial Mental Health (CMH) and follow the activities/athletic handbook consequences after a first positive test.
Miles added the committee felt these are no small consequences for a first offense, and didn't feel the 12-month follow-up testing is necessary.
Ortner added a color line is part of CMH's standard operating procedures. With this, if a student is involved in monthly testing, he or she would have to call in every day to see if his or her color was up for testing that day. Ortner pointed out the school district has no control over this, as it's the way CMH operates.
Language has been added describing the process of the parent meeting. It was determined the district needs to take some time to explain to the family and student what can be expected when they go to CMH for the intake assessment.
In fact, Miles said CMH has developed a brochure just for this, to give families an idea of what to expect.
Self disclosure in lieu of testing was added to the policy section on refusal to submit to a drug use test. This gives a student the opportunity to not test if they know it will be positive. It will be treated as a positive-test offense. The original policy did not list the consequence of admitting, so it has been added to be clear.
Camblin also cited a change in recordkeeping, with the committee suggesting all records be kept for a period of seven years.
The former policy would prohibit an audit by destroying records annually. The district keeps other sensitive records for seven years, and that time period would also cover a student's time in the RDT program, from grades 7-12.
Miles said considerable committee conversation was devoted to how to judge whether RDT program is successful.
In looking to continuous quality improvement, the RDT committee recommended an outside audit be completed annually.
At the end of the report, board member Kim Killin said there's been tremendous effort to balance student rights with the outcome. Due to the substantial changes in policy suggested this year, she would recommend an audit at least one more year, then determine the need after that.
Audit recommendations met
Supt. Miles said he feels each of the nine recommendations from the audit were met. CMH's second selection method of close eyes and point was discontinued immediately.
Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for both CMH and the school district have been outlined and written down to better clarify the procedures.
CMH's regional director will meet with school district staff twice a year to review paperwork. All CMH semi-annual reports will be signed and dated by the principal, who will continue to serve as the RDT coordinator, with support from the superintendent.
Additional staff may be involved without compromising the confidentiality of the process. This involvement will include such tasks as date-stamping forms and keeping track of CMH's submission of required written documents.
Both the policy and SOP call for the superintendent to oversee the program in specific ways.
In continuing to improve quality, the committee thoroughly considered and defined scope of tests, drug monitoring frequency and randomization requirements for test dates.

For Best Brewing
- Use one heaping teaspoon of loose leaves per 8 fl oz of 215° water.
- Let it steep for 5 minutes. Wait patiently for perfection.
Herbal teas are not actually true teas as they contain none of the Camellia sinensis leaf. Instead, herbal teas often include leaves, flowers, roots, peels, berries and spices.

WHEELING - Representing a group of residents calling themselves "Woodsdale United," David Croft and Wendy Scatterday urged City Council members Tuesday to uphold the Planning Commission's recommendation to deny a zone change request for 95 acres of wooded hillside along Bethany Pike.
Nine days ago, more than 125 onlookers packed the room to witness the Planning Commission's 6-1 vote to deny property owners Kevin Coyne of Wheeling and Doug Grayson of Pennsylvania their request to rezone the property from single-family residential to C-2 Commercial, as members were troubled by the developers' unwillingness to provide details regarding possible development at the site.
A crowd nearly as large attended City Council's meeting Tuesday, and several of those people, including Croft and Scatterday, spoke in vehement opposition to the request.

Wheeling Councilwoman Gloria Delbrugge, Councilman Ken Imer, center, and Councilman Robert "Herk" Henry confer prior to Tuesday's City Council meeting.
Council - which has the final say on the zoning issue - took no action regarding the zone change, as the Planning Commission report from the March 11 meeting won't be up for a vote until April 2. If council approves the report as presented, the commission's decision will stand and cannot be reconsidered for six months - but the zone change request could be introduced if a member of council objects to accepting the report.
Croft said Tuesday that "the Planning Commission got it right" in denying the request. He also told council the West Virginia Division of Forestry on two separate occasions ordered an immediate halt to timbering operations on the property.
Documents show DOF representative Brent Lyons issued the first suspension order on Nov. 20, 2011 against Lemley Excavating of New Cumberland, for no timbering notification, no timbering license and not having a certified logger on site. Just two days later, the DOF issued a suspension order against a second company, Double D Logging of Colliers, this time for "uncorrectable soil erosion" allowing water and sediment to flow onto Bethany Pike and into Waddles Run.
That suspension order was lifted Feb. 13, 2012 after a re-inspection found the logging company to be in compliance with the DOF's orders for corrective action. Coyne could not be reached Tuesday evening for comment.
Although Coyne and Grayson's attorney, Jamie Bordas, told planning commissioners he believed divulging the nature of the project in a public forum would put it at risk, Scatterday, an Edgwood Street resident, told council she believes a "committed developer" would have presented plans for site grading, vehicular access and stormwater, erosion and sediment control when asking for a zone change.
"These documents would not corrupt any real estate negotiations," said Scatterday.
Scatterday also urged council to consider the impact of large-scale development on the ambience of the largely residential neighborhood, what she said is "part of what makes Wheeling special."
"It's a wholesale removal of at least 200 feet in elevation. ... If we destroy those hilltops, we will make Wheeling like everywhere else," she said.
Stuart Levy also spoke against the potential for hillside removal.
"Would you like them to be quarrying the material next to your home? ... Would you, as neighbors, want the devaluation of your property?" said Levy. "I am not against progress. I am not against jobs. I am against the poor selection of where this site is."
Each speaker's comments were met with rounds of applause from the crowd.
Following the meeting, Mayor Andy McKenzie said council has not discussed the issue as a group, but noted he's not aware of any support to overturn the Planning Commission's decision.
"I believe in the process. ... If you circumvent the process, why do you have it?" said McKenzie.
Council also heard from Warwood resident Tom Triveri, who spoke against GreenHunter Water's $1.7 million plans to establish a frack water recycling plant to be built at the site of a former gasoline storage facility on North 28th Street, expected to be online by this fall.
Triveri said he is concerned about the various chemicals used in fracking - a key component of the natural gas drilling process - being in such close proximity to the city's water supply.
"The intake system for the drinking water of Wheeling ... is only 1.2 miles south of where they want to build this plant," Triveri said, noting he believes there will be "a lot of people moving out of Wheeling" if the plant is built.
Following the meeting, Councilwoman Gloria Delbrugge, who represents the Warwood area, expressed many of the same concerns as Triveri.
"It shouldn't happen. ... This is bad - bad news, and I will do what I can to keep it out of here," said Delbrugge regarding the planned facility.
In other business, council unanimously approved its $30.64 million general fund budget and $125,000 coal severance budget for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins July 1. The budget is $750,000 higher than the one council approved last March, but is $586,000 lower than the budget as it stands today following revisions made based on a $1.04 million cash carryover at the beginning of the current fiscal year.

Yay for all the positive pg tests this past summer! Hopefully the fall can be more of the same!
My genetic tests came back normal, so my dr still doesn't understand why the embryos keep dying off. I started the pill last week, so I'm bound for another round of meds in the next couple weeks. I have a meeting with her in a couple days to go over the new medicine regime.
I do have to say, honestly, that being med free last month made my life easier. Less crying, less stress, less freaking over small stuff. Even my therapist thought I looked better. After a week on the pill, I already feel a little out of sorts. I never reacted this badly to hormones when I was in my twenties. Either that or I was such a drama queen back then no one noticed the difference (which is a distinct possibility. I worked with an entirely female staff and we THRIVED on drama).
