Personnel policy GBED allows post-offer medical exams and drug testing for safety-sensitive positions
Summary
GBED in the packet authorizes district-required medical examinations after a job offer and drug testing for safety-sensitive positions (for example, bus drivers), and requires confidential handling of medical and test records.
The GBED policy text in the packet (Medical Examinations and Drug Testing) allows the district to require medical examinations after an employment offer and before duties begin and says the district will pay for district-required medical examinations. The policy requires that medical-examination-related records be kept separate from personnel files and released only in accordance with applicable law.
GBED also states that offers of employment for certain positions may be contingent on successful passage of a district-required drug test and that the district will require drug tests for safety-sensitive positions (for example: bus drivers, heavy machinery operators). The policy requires confidentiality of examination and test records and cites state and federal legal references (ORS 332.107; ORS 657.176; ORS 659A.133; the Americans with Disabilities Act and related federal rules are listed in the packet).
The policy appeared on the packet’s consent/second-reading list; the transcript excerpt does not show a recorded vote adopting GBED during the work session.
