Warm Up and Objective

Warm Up




A boy who attended middle school decided to try out for football. He also planned on playing basketball and running track. Before anyone could participate in football they were given a sheet to take home. A parent and the student had to sign this sheet. It stated that both the student and the parent consented to the random drug tests the school gave. The boy and his parents did not believe in the drug tests and didn't want their son to be tested.  They soon scheduled a meeting with the principal of the school. The parents told the principal that they objected to the consent form and weren't going to sign it. The school did not have any reason to believe that the boy used drugs. The principal told the family that he could not participate in sports if the sheet was not signed.
Question: Can school officials require students to agree to drug testing to participate in school extra-curricular activities? Explain your answer.


 Objective
  • Describe the powers, structure and organization of the Federal and Maryland court systems (1.1.2o)
