That's pretty much my point... you're not going to find out who's a child molestor or otherwise dangerous to children through a drug test. And there may be some very good personnel who will fail those tests that you wouldn't want to fire.

You will probably find a convicted pedophile through a background check. You will probably find drug users through random drug tests. Gramps is unlikely to be a crack dealer, but could very well be impaired by alcohol or illegal drugs. If he wants the job, he pees in a cup. If not, see ya!

Drug tests are one area where the school district should be able to apply some common sense and only test those people that they reasonably suspect of abusing drugs. If there is no reason to believe somebody is abusing drugs, don't make them suffer the insult of your drug tests.

Of course, in our most litigious of all nations, there is no way that common sense will ever be applied to this situation.
