Kiera Cunningham · Answer 2

Answer: ruled (6-3) that an Oregon school board's random drug-testing policy for student athletes was reasonable under the Fourth Amendment.

In response to concerns about increased drug use among students, the school board of Vernonia, Oregon, instituted a drug-testing policy for student athletes in 1989. The policy focused on student athletes because they were seen as "leaders of the drug culture" at their high school and because there were concerns that drug use would increase the risk of sports-related injuries. The policy required all those who wished to play on interscholastic athletic teams to submit to urinalysis drug testing.
