School District Drug Testing
On-site drug testing for K-12 districts — students in athletics and extracurriculars (per Vernonia and Earls), plus staff and DOT and non-DOT bus drivers. Our collectors come to your schools; results are lab-verified and FERPA-confidential. Your district owns the policy; we handle the testing.
Student drug testing programs test K-12 students in athletics and activities, plus staff and DOT/non-DOT bus drivers. Your district owns the policy; we handle collection with our own collectors and lab-verified, FERPA-confidential results.
For a K-12 district, drug testing has to be done discreetly, confidentially, and within a specific legal scope. We're your testing provider — our own collectors come to your schools and handle the collection, while your district owns the policy that governs the program.
The legal scope your policy must stay within
The Supreme Court permits suspicionless drug testing of students in athletics (Vernonia School District v. Acton, 1995) and other competitive extracurricular activities (Board of Education v. Earls, 2002) — not the general student body. Your district's policy defines the covered students; we test the students it covers.
On-site, and not just students
Our collectors come to your schools and test the students your policy covers, your staff, and your DOT and non-DOT bus drivers — the district's full testing need handled without sending anyone off-site.
Confidential results
Results are lab-verified and handled confidentially, consistent with FERPA. How a result is used is set by your district's policy and staff — we provide the objective test and documentation.

The legal boundary
Suspicionless student drug testing is constitutionally permitted only for students participating in athletics (Vernonia, 1995) and competitive extracurricular activities (Earls, 2002) — not the entire student body. Your district's policy defines the covered students; we test within that scope.
Policy, notice, and consent — your district's role
A defensible program requires a written policy, advance notice, and proper consent. Your district develops and manages those; we provide the testing.
Confidentiality — FERPA
Student testing results are handled confidentially, consistent with FERPA, and shared only with those who have a legitimate educational need.
