| The Department of Education Offers $10 Million Dollars in Grants to Implement or Expand Student Drug Testing Programs |
|
|
|
Research shows that those who make it through their teenage years without using drugs are much less likely to start using them when they are older. Student drug testing is one program that deters young people from using drugs. Supreme Court rulings have allowed schools to randomly drug test athletes and students who participate in extracurricular activities, thereby giving schools another tool to complement their existing school-based drug prevention program.
Approximately $10 million in federal grants to implement or expand student drug testing programs will be available through the US Department of Education.
DATIA was informed this week that the application period will be open between mid-June and August 1, 2005. A Notice of Funds Available will be posted on the Department of Education’s website at http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/osdfs/index.html and DATIA will keep its members up-to-date.

| Question & Answer From DATIA's Forum: |
|
Question: I am currently a Certified Professional Collector Trainer (CPCT) through DATIA. The DOT regulations require collectors to undergo refresher training every 5 years. I am coming up on my 5 year mark, does this mean that I should re-take the DATIA course again?
Answer: Section 40.33(e) of the DOT drug and alcohol testing regulations states that refresher training should be done "no less frequently than every five years from the date on which you satisfactorily complete the requirements of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, you must complete refresher training that meets all the requirements of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.
Re-taking DATIA's course would meet the training requirements in paragraph (b) of the regulation, but it is not required. Mock collections could be done in-house with a colleague.
