The Amador County School District Board postponed the second reading and approval of the proposed Drug Testing Policy until the next regularly scheduled meeting in light of ongoing skepticism. The board decided that more information was necessary after several questions were raised at the meeting Wednesday evening. Much of the public concern corresponded with the likelihood of false positives being reported, and the Board asked if it was plausible to obtain statistical analysis charting the likelihood of false positives. Board member Karl Knobelauch (ka-nobe-uh-lock) asked staff to “check with the local probation department”, as they have extensive experience in regards to drug testing, and because the drug policy “gives students the permission or an excuse to stay clean, and not fall under peer pressure.” Bret Harte High School Principal Dean Way was at the meeting as well, and told the council that he “was skeptical of the drug policy, although it sounds effective. It makes a statement that drug use was not the norm and would not be accepted.”
