This mission requires a school environment that is safe and drug free. Only in such an atmosphere can the full learning potential of its students be realized. Students, employees, and members of the Board of Trustees are not permitted to use, possess, sell, convey, or distribute any illegal drug or controlled substance in any amount in any manner. (This includes prescription drugs not legally obtained and prescription drugs not being used in the manner prescribed.) </div> <bR> <div> Mobile Christian School is demonstrating its leadership and commitment to the community by instituting an innovative drug testing program for students, employees, and members of the Board of Trustees. This drug testing program is designed to help discourage illicit drug use by students, employees, and trustees. It is based on the principles of caring and helping, and its primary goal is to help avoid the problems associated with illicit drug use. It is further intended to empower parents/guardians with valuable information for assisting a child not in compliance with this drug policy. </div> <bR> <div> While the primary goal of this policy is one of helping the student, employee or trustee deal with this problem in the most effective and positive way possible, we, the Board of Trustees, also feel very keenly a responsibility to the remainder of the student body, staff and to one another, to maintain the good name of the institution and the integrity of the majority who are not dealing with these problems. To this end, certain aspects of this policy have been brought forward from our previous student handbook and have been given greater definition so that each individual can know exactly how he or she will be dealt with should instances of drug abuse arise. </div> <bR> <div> The Mobile Christian School Board of Directors has approved this drug policy. The new drug testing program began in the fall of 2001.</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
