CONSENT FOR DRUG TESTING AND SEARCHES

(student's name), have read and agree to the policy below. We at Phoenix Recovery Academy conduct drug and alcohol testing based on two criteria. We conduct both frequent random testing and test based on suspicion. We believe random testing provides accountability to the student, their family as well as the school community. We have found this helps motivate the students to remain clean and sober as well as promoting a safe community. This leads to creating an enthusiastic recovery-focused learning environment. We test based on suspicion of substance or alcohol use. This is based on behavior, parent concern, or community concern. Any school personnel can request a test and if any parent is concerned and would like to request a drug or alcohol test, they can contact the school administrator. If a student is asked to submit to an alcohol or drug test and they refuse, it will be considered a positive test. Their continuation at Phoenix Recovery Academy will be dependent upon their participation in a concerned person meeting per the school's relapse policy.

At this time we incorporate the charges for the drug and alcohol testing into the tuition and do not have any additional charges. This policy is subject to change depending on future experiences in our environment. In the event of any changes, you will be notified. Our staff may conduct unannounced searches for alcohol, drugs, paraphernalia or missing/stolen items. Entering the school property constitutes consent to searches. Students are expected to cooperate in such searches. Searches of students and their personal property which includes, but is not limited to, lunch containers, backpacks, cell phones, desks, work area, purses, wallets, and vehicles may be conducted when there is reasonable suspicion to believe that a student is in violation of this Policy and/or when circumstances and school conditions justify them. Consent to a search is required asa condition of continued enrollment and the student's refusal to consent may result in expulsion. No student will be touched as part of the search or detained without his/her consent. Students being searched may be asked to empty pockets and remove hats and outer clothing, such as jackets and sweaters. Any illegal or non-prescribed drugs discovered will be turned over to the appropriate law enforcement agency. Any action taken by law enforcement agencies will be completely independent of this Policy.
