Definition of Terms

​

1. USE, whether active or passive, pertains to a student voluntarily introducing or tolerating, or allowing to be introduced, by any means, into his/her body, a prohibited or dangerous substance such that it is detectable by the student’s physical appearance, actions, speech, or chemical analysis.

2. POSSESSION is any conduct or combination of acts of a student evincing custody or control of or over a prohibited or dangerous substance.

3. SALE and TRANSFER refer to any conveyance from a student to any other person, natural or juridical, of a prohibited or dangerous substance for any consideration, whether valuable, pecuniary, gratuitous, or even out of mere liberality. A screening and detection procedure utilizing urinalysis, hair follicle, saliva or others such as drug detection test as determined by the administration, will be conducted on a random basis, or, where suspicion of use exists, selectively. Random selection may result in a student being selected for testing or screening more than once during the semester.

​

Breaches of the school policy on drug abuse are cumulative throughout the student’s tenure, and will result in the following repercussions:

1. Any student who possesses, uses buys, sells, gives, or traffic drugs on or off campus, its surrounding environments, or at any school-related activity, function, or event will be endorsed to proper authorities.

 

2. Positive detection of use through urinalysis, hair follicle, saliva, or others such as drug detection test as determined by the administration, will result in the same consequences.
