York v. Wahkiakum School District No. 200
Washington Supreme Court
178 P.3d 995 (2008)
- Written by Deanna Curl, JD
Facts
Following the results of an independent survey indicating that large portions of the student body were using drugs and alcohol, the Wahkiakum School District implemented a policy that required all student athletes to submit to random drug testing through urinalysis as a condition to play sports. If a student’s test came back positive for drugs, the student was suspended from playing sports but not from attending school. The district did not notify the police of positive results. The parents of two student athletes (plaintiff) sued the school district (defendant), alleging that random, suspicionless drug testing violated the search-and-seizure provisions of the Washington Constitution.
