3 For purposes of this procedural directive, work place means any location where the employee must be to carry on the duties of employment and includes both on and off district property locations. General Provisions Because substance abuse seriously endangers the safety of students and employees, the district has established this program to detect users and abusers of alcohol, drugs, or other controlled substances. The district shall be committed to preventing the use and/or presence of these substances in the work place. Albuquerque Public Schools prohibits the sale, use, possession, transfer of, or being under the influence of alcohol, narcotics, hallucinogens, inhalants, or drugs or possession of drug paraphernalia in the workplace by an Albuquerque Public Schools employee, on district property or at any district-sponsored activity.

The misuse or abuse of legal drugs while performing transportation business shall be prohibited. Responsibilities of Albuquerque Public Schools Employees In compliance with federal and state statute and regulation and Board of Education policy, Albuquerque Public Schools shall be a drug free workplace. Albuquerque Public Schools employees shall be expected to be knowledgeable of existing related Board of Education policies and administrative procedural directives. District employees shall be made aware of the availability of counseling and support systems such as the Employee Assistance Program provided by the district directly or indirectly through
4 community referral for himself/herself or friends. District employees shall be encouraged to self-report alcohol or drug abuse so they may be referred to these services. District employees shall have the right to confidentiality when assistance is sought voluntarily for drug and/or alcohol problems. Testing for Drugs and Alcohol The district shall utilize drug and alcohol testing for employees as follows: Applicants offered conditional employment as Albuquerque Public schools police officers, civilian police positions with evidence handling responsibilities, and positions requiring a commercial drivers license shall be tested. Employees shall be tested based upon reasonable suspicion. Employees shall be tested following motor vehicle accidents involving district-owned vehicles. All results shall be directed to Human Resources for possible discipline if necessary. Employees who complete a rehabilitation program shall be tested periodically without notice for a set period as required by a physician, therapist, or counselor designated by the district or by its designated medical provider. Albuquerque Public Schools police officers, civilian police positions with evidence handling responsibilities, drivers whose jobs require a commercial driver s license shall be subject to random testing each month. Random selections shall be made by the district s medical review officer contractor. The district shall be responsible for the cost of all testing, including any post-offer, preemployment drug testing, post-accident testing, and reasonable suspicion testing. If an employee's or applicant's test is positive for substance use, he/she shall have the right to request, in writing to the district, that the specimen be reanalyzed by an accredited independent agency to verify the validity of the results. Costs for the review shall be borne by the district. All positive test results shall be given to the medical review officer and shall be strictly confidential with access limited to authorized staff. All positive test results may be subject to discipline from the district s disciplinary committee. Post-Offer of Employment, Pre-Employment Testing Applicants for Albuquerque Public Schools police officers, police civilian positions with evidence handling responsibilities and for positions which require a commercial drivers license shall report to the district contracted testing facility with photo identification. The drug/alcohol test shall be undertaken as soon as possible following the conditional offer of employment. Applicants who refuse the pre-employment screen, or who have a confirmed positive screening, shall not be eligible for employment. The district shall be responsible for the cost of any postoffer, pre-employment drug testing. Post-Accident Testing If an employee is involved in a motor vehicle accident in a district-owned vehicle or involved in any event that causes damage to the district-owned vehicle, the employee shall report the accident to their supervisor and shall be required to report to the nearest district contracted
5 testing facility with photo identification, accompanied by their supervisor, for alcohol/drug screening. Refusal by the employee to take the required test(s) or a positive test result shall be grounds for the full range of disciplinary actions, including termination/discharge. Alcohol Testing The employee involved in the accident who is subject to testing shall make himself/herself available for testing for up to eight (8) hours and no alcohol shall be consumed by the driver for eight (8) hours or until an approved breath alcohol test is performed. No breath alcohol test shall be performed after eight (8) hours from the time of the accident. Drug Testing A urine collection for drug testing shall be conducted no later than thirty-two (32) hours from the time of the initial accident.

Employees selected for random monthly testing shall report to the nearest district contracted testing facility within one (1) hour of notification with photo identification. Reasonable Suspicion Testing All employees shall be subject to reasonable suspicion drug testing. A reasonable suspicion may be found where a supervisor or district employee detects indicators of controlled substance use or alcohol abuse and has made observations regarding an employee that are specific, contemporaneous, and articulable, and relate to the employee s appearance, behavior, speech, and/or body odors. The observations relating to the alcohol testing shall be made during, just preceding, or just after the period of the work day. An employee may be directed to take a reasonable suspicion controlled substance test only while the employee is performing, just before performing or just after performing his/her job duties. Whenever there is reasonable suspicion on the part of the supervisor that an employee may be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the supervisor shall: Gather all information, facts, and circumstances leading to and supporting the suspicion. Confer with Human Resources and Risk Management Departments to determine if reasonable suspicion for a test exists. Prepare a written report detailing the circumstances which formed the basis to warrant the testing. The report shall include the appropriate dates and times of reported drug/alcohol related incidents, reliable/credible sources of information, rationale leading to the test, and the action taken. Reasonable suspicion testing may be based upon, among other things: Observable phenomena, such as direct observation of drug/alcohol use or possession and/or the physical symptoms of being under the influence of drug/alcohol, or a pattern of abnormal or erratic behavior. Abnormal conduct or erratic behavior may include the following, which are not all inclusive:
6 o Abnormally dilated or constricted pupils o Glazed stare - redness of eyes o Change of speech (i.e. faster or slower) o Constant sniffing o Redness under nose o Needle marks o Change in personality o Forgetfulness o Constant fatigue or hyperactivity o Smell of alcohol o Slurred speech o Difficulty walking o Slowed reaction rate o Dulled mental processes Information provided either by reliable and credible sources or independently corroborated; or newly discovered evidence that the employee has tampered with a previous drug/alcohol test. Although reasonable suspicion testing does not require certainty, mere "hunches" are not sufficient to meet this standard. If reasonable suspicion for a test has been verified by Human Resources and Risk Management, the employee will be required to immediately be taken to the nearest district contracted testing facility with photo identification for alcohol/drug screening. Testing Process The district contracts with an outside, independent testing laboratory for alcohol and drug testing. Laboratories shall be New Mexico Department of Health and Human Services approved and National Institute on Drug Abuse certified. Certified laboratories shall be required to follow New Mexico Department of Transportation regulations and procedures in all of its collection and testing processes. This shall include the following: A secure laboratory site with limited access to authorized personnel and approved security measures in place. The following of strict chain-of-custody guidelines that maintains control and accountability from the collection through the testing process. Both an initial screening test and a confirmation test shall be used. The confirmation test shall be a Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). Both testing techniques shall use the New Mexico Department of Transportation - specified cutoff levels for all substances tested. Reporting of test results by the lab shall be to the medical review officer for purposes of verification. o o The medical review officer shall be a licensed physician with knowledge of substance abuse disorders. The role of the medical review officer is to review and interpret confirmed positive test results and examine any medical explanations for the results. If the confirmed result is positive, the medical review officer shall attempt to contact the applicant/employee, in confidence, to discuss the positive result. The medical review officer shall talk directly with the individual before verifying a positive result. If the medical review officer is unable to contact the employee directly, the medical review officer will contact the designated official in Risk Management and Human Resources who shall attempt to contact the individual.
7 Verified test results shall be reported to the Director of Risk Management and Human Resources. The employee may request a copy of the test results. Within three (3) days of a verified positive test, the employee may request a confirmatory re-test of the original sample at their own expense. The district shall not consider results of tests on other samples. Violations Violation of this directive will be grounds for disciplinary action subject to applicable New Mexico law, due process requirements, and/or any other applicable laws, regulations, policies and procedures. Violations of this directive include, without limitation: Testing positive in a confirmed test; Refusing to submit to testing; Failing to adhere to a rehabilitation program required by the District or medical provider. A positive test for controlled substances shall be in accordance with DOT-specified levels. A positive test for alcohol consumption is an alcohol concentration of, or greater than 0.02% Disciplinary action shall not be avoided by a request at that time for treatment or rehabilitation. Employees Voluntarily Seeking Assistance Employees shall not be terminated for voluntarily seeking assistance for a substance abuse problem. An employee who seeks such assistance may still be disciplined for other performance, attendance, or behavioral problems. Any voluntary actions must occur before selection for drug or alcohol testing. Employees who seek assistance under this procedural directive shall follow the steps below before being returned to service or allowed to continue work. Employees shall be placed on leave and shall be required to execute a written agreement which: o Acknowledges that they violated Board of Education policy and this procedural directive; and o States that in exchange for the district not terminating them for violating Board of Education policy and this procedural directive, they agree to undergo rehabilitation, counseling, or other activities prescribed by the district or licensed substance abuse professional medical provider. Employees shall not be returned to work or be allowed to continue working until they have been evaluated by a physician, therapist, or counselor designated by the district who certifies that, in his/her best judgment, the employee no longer uses drugs and/or other prohibited substances and may safely return to duty. Employees shall undergo additional periodic testing without notice for a set period as required by a physician, therapist, or counselor designated by the district or by its designated medical provider. If, within one-hundred twenty-five (125) days of seeking assistance under this procedural directive a physician, therapist, or counselor designated by the district certifies that in his/her best judgment, the employee is not recovering from a drug or alcohol dependence, that the employee is currently using drugs and/or other prohibited substances, that the employee's involvement with drugs and/or other prohibited
8 substances is an on-going problem, and that the employee may not safely return to duty, the district may terminate the employee, in accordance with state statute and regulation, due process requirements, and/or other applicable laws or regulations. This process shall not require and shall not result in any special regulations, privileges, or exemptions from an employee's normal job performance requirements. The district shall not be responsible for the costs of rehabilitation. The employee shall be responsible for all such costs.
