Hageman v. Goshen County School District No. 1

Wyoming Supreme Court
256 P.3d 487 (2011)

Facts

The Goshen County School District (defendant) surveyed students and discovered that drug and alcohol use was a serious problem. To redress the problem, the district proposed a policy requiring students in grades seven to 12 who participate in extracurricular activities to consent to random drug and alcohol testing. The superintendent believed the policy would be a good deterrent because students who participate in extracurriculars tend to be role models and could use testing as a condition of participation in extracurriculars as an excuse to avoid peer pressure. The district shared the policy in a public forum, and the district’s board of trustees subsequently adopted the policy by an eight-to-one vote. A coalition of students and parents (plaintiffs) sued to challenge the policy. The trial court granted summary judgment for the district. The coalition appealed.
