School districts which have implemented drug testing programs have reported tremendous success in the reduction of student drug use. Simply put, students who know they will be tested for drugs will overwhelmingly make the correct choice and abstain from using illicit substances. The popularity of school drug testing programs has steadily increased; with school administrators across the country taking notice of drug testing’s ability to deter students from falling into dangerous addictions.

In 2007, White House drug czar John Walters stated that  “testing is the single most important step schools can take, and it’s becoming increasingly hard to dismiss administrators who say that testing works for them and can be done fairly cost effectively.” While students in schools without drug testing programs inevitably feel the brunt of peer pressure, random drug testing provides a legitimate reason to live a drug free life. Today there are more than 1,000 middle schools and high schools in America which conduct random drug testing, and the number is expected to increase steadily as the benefits of school drug testing become evident.

Federal officials have found that “an average of one school a month around the country has added testing programs in the past several years,” a trend which illustrates the growing confidence that parents and teachers have in school drug testing. While once students showed resistance to random drug testing while attending school, today’s teens have recognized the crucial role that drug testing plays in preventing widespread drug abuse.

By tying the drug testing programs to extracurricular activities, school officials have found that students are simply not willing to sacrifice their participation in athletics, clubs or scholarly associations to use illegal drugs. With recent innovations in the production of school drug testing kits, which are now designed to be as non-invasive as possible, school drug testing programs are now streamlined and efficient. This means that school districts around the country, many of which are struggling with budget issues, can institute drug testing programs secure in the knowledge that their money is being well spent. The school drug testing movement has gained legitimacy throughout years of successful trials, and today more schools than ever before rely on drug testing to provide a drug free educational environment.
