Required Examination During Employment - All Employee. 1. The Superintendent or designee may require any employee within the School District to submit to a physical or mental examination, when he/she has reasonable suspicion to believe: (a) the welfare of the employee, students or other employees justifies such examination; or (b) that the employee’s ability to perform his or her duties is impaired due to physical or mental reasons. The School District will pay the cost of the examination which shall be conducted by a physician of the School District’s choice. However, in the event the employee desires to utilize a personal physician, subject to the approval of the Superintendent, to satisfy the employee’s examination requirement, the employee may do so, provided the examination can be conducted within such time as may be reasonably required by the School District. In such event, the private physician will be paid, by the School District, an amount equal to the amount usually and customarily paid by the School District to the physician selected by it. Following the examination, a written report shall be issued by the physician. 2. As a condition of continued employment with the School District, all employees consent to a chemical test of their blood, urine or breath upon request of the Superintendent or designee. This test shall be ordered in the event the Superintendent or designee has reasonable suspicion to believe that the employee is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or in the event of a reasonable suspicion that the employee’s ability to perform his or her duties is impaired by the use of alcohol or drugs. The employee will be allowed up to thirty minutes to obtain representation of his/her choice. Any such tests shall be conducted at any hospital, clinic, or facility properly equipped to administer such tests and shall be performed by any doctor, nurse or technician properly qualified to administer such tests. The employee may not select the physician or technician to administer the tests. All such tests shall be paid for by the District. (a) The failure or refusal of an employee to submit to any test required in paragraph 2 above, or to submit to and obtain the examinations required in paragraph 1 above, shall constitute insubordination, and shall result in: (1) immediate suspension without pay, except as required by Colorado Statute, and (2) termination of employment being recommended to the Board of Education.
