This topic has been forcefully debated on these boards in the past, but I feel compelled to comment.

You are all so quick to relinquish your personal privacy rights to government & civic authorities. You are all so quick to delegate the shepherding, raising, and monitoring of your children's activities to school districts and the teachers employed by the district. Where is your sense of personal responsibility?

My wife & I accept the responsibility for leading our children away from drugs, alcohol abuse, gambling addictions (see the current poker craze on ESPN), tobacco, and all of the other vices in life. We will not achieve 100% success.

I hope I never see an institutional policy implemented in the Lewisville school districts that require drug testing on any students or teachers without just cause. Simply wanting to participate or coach on the baseball team, in the band, or on the physics robot team does not offer just cause for testing.
