Yesterday, we reported on Waldwick High School's newly enacted random drug testing policy. Six percent of students participating in extra-curricular activities will have to take a drug test. If they refuse or fail the test, they won't be allowed to participate in extra-curricular activities, nor be able to park at the school.
This is illegal. It's violates the students' US and NJ Constitutional rights. This is humiliating. And it's going to cost Waldwick taxpayers over $3000 per year.
The only people that are 'for' this program are people that are ignorant, uninformed, failed at parenting their own kids or are passing the parenting responsibity to the school because they're too lazy.
Board President, Patty Levine, refused to have the town vote on it saying "That's why you elected us."
That's an arrogant, self-righteous attitude.
Please call, write and email these people. We guessed on some of the emails, but we they should be correct.

this is ridiculous and kids should stop smoking dope
I live in Waldwick, and the taxes are already high enough in the town. This is a waste of money, just like everything else this town has done.
They started doing this to my former school once they built a new K-12 school building in small town Ohio. Even the voting on the approval of the new School building was rife with controversy. At first they held a school district vote which spans 4 different towns. When 3 of the 4 towns voted the new school building down, they held a vote on the new building in which only one town voted. The one that passed the vote the first time around.
