New Jersey § 18a:40a-22

§ 18a:40a-22.

The Legislature finds and declares that there are many school districts within the

State with a growing problem of drug abuse among their students. The Legislature further finds that federal and State courts have held that it may

be appropriate for school districts to combat this problem through the random drug

testing of students participating in extracurricular activities, including interscholastic

athletics, and students who possess school parking permits. The Legislature also finds that a random drug testing program may have a positive

effect on attaining the important objectives of deterring drug use and providing a

means for the early detection of students with drug problems so that counseling and

rehabilitative treatment may be offered.
