Board hears second reading of policy expanding random testing for non‑CDL student transporters

Superintendent Dr. Wood presented a second reading of a transportation-related personnel policy that would expand random drug and alcohol screening to individuals who transport students in county vehicles even when those employees do not hold a commercial driver's license (CDL). She described the measure as an "extra layer of safety" for staff assigned to safety-related duties, whether they drive district vehicles or use an assigned family vehicle for work.

Dr. Wood said the policy had been introduced at the previous meeting as a first reading, that the office had not received questions about the proposal since then, and that it appears to have support within administrative offices. The Chair invited a motion to approve the policy; the record shows the second reading presented but no final approval recorded during the meeting minutes excerpt.
