STATEMENT OF PURPOSE RS 11848 The proposed changes simplify and clarify the manner in which school districts are to respond to a student who discloses or is suspected of using or being under the influence of a controlled substance. The original intent of the law remains intact and is bolstered by the provisions. Specifically, the changes: 1. eliminate the confusion regarding the standards for district personnel and law enforcement to act. 2. allow district personnel to call law enforcement or medical personnel in an unsafe situation, even if a student selfreports. 3. clarify that districts may impose disciplinary sanctions against a student who uses or is under the influence, regardless whether the student admitted to using or being under the influence of a controlled substance. 4. eliminate the requirement that only an “intervention trained” person evaluate the student, leaving the determination to school personnel and law enforcement.
