REASONABLE SUSPICION DRUG TESTING. An employee must submit to a reasonable suspicion drug or alcohol test when a manager or supervisor has reasonable suspicion to believe that the employee has violated the drug or alcohol prohibitions contained in this Article and/or Sections 4225 and 4225AR of the District’s Personnel Policy. A reasonable suspicion determination may be made any time the employee is on school property and may be based on observations concerning, including but not limited to, the appearance, behavior, speech or body odors of the employee. The observations may include indications of chronic and withdrawal effects of drugs and/or alcohol. Supervisory personnel may request that an employee submit to drug or alcohol testing when a supervisor has a reasonable suspicion that an employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The term “reasonable suspicion” as used in this section is defined consistent with Connecticut law, and generally exists when, based upon objective facts and considerations, a reasonably prudent supervisor would suspect that an employee is under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
