Board clarifies employee drug‑testing: pre‑employment tests standard, random testing limited to bus drivers
Summary
At a Levy County School Board meeting a board member asked about employee drug testing; the district said pre‑employment testing is required and random testing is performed only for bus drivers through an established system.
The Levy County School Board clarified how the district handles employee drug testing: pre‑employment drug testing is required for new hires, and random testing is applied only to bus drivers through an established selection system.
A board member asked, “Do we drug test our employees and how often do we randomly do it?” The superintendent replied, “We do when they're hired,” and added that the district “do[es] not randomly drug screen anyone unless they are driving a bus.” The superintendent explained the bus‑driver tests are selected through a system rather than ad hoc selection.
Board members emphasized the clarification was not tied to any specific incident and framed the question as informational. No changes to district policy or additional actions were proposed or approved during the meeting.
