[Libs-Or] Random Drug Screening

[Buzzy Nielsen]

I already sent this to Kathy, but I also wanted to remind other people about this court case from several years ago that pertained directly to drug-testing of library employees. It deals with pre-employment drug screening, but some of its findings may have wider implications.

I was going to say the same thing. Views and the legal landscape on all drug screening has changed over the years.

I would consult SDAO about this. Personally, I wouldn't want a policy like this unless you have people performing tasks that could put others at risk (driving, operating equipment, etc.)

Are they wanting a policy because they think there is a problem?

Hi Public Librarians,



My board is considering a random drug screening policy. Can you reply and let me know if you have a policy for this? And if so who is included?
