Dear Strongsville High School board of directors and administration,
As administrators, you lack reasonable doubt. Students use extracurriculars as an ‘escape’ for both physical and mental health, you are stripping that away by indirectly forcing drug tests onto students. As students, we agree annuals are adequate, so long as completed with our annual physicals and/or in our doctor’s office(s). This is an over reach into students lives outside of school. Unless a student’s performance is affected inside of school or the issue is brought on campus, you have no business knowing what occurs. Teachers are not being tested at all, let alone randomly, yet leading by example is the best way to lead. As students in extracurriculars we are already made to maintain GPA, a certain number of passing classes, and attendance. Why must we prove ourselves to you, that we are not on drugs to participate in these activities we already pay for? As students we hope there is a compromise, as that would be preferred.
Thank you,
Students of Strongsville Highschool
