 Board
of Education of Independent School District No. 92 of Pottawatomie
County et. al. v. Earls (No. 01-332)
Supreme Court Decision
In a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court decided
on June 27, 2002 to allow a school drug testing policy that
established random, suspicionless urinalysis testing of any students
participating in extracurricular or co-curricular competitive
activities, The case originated when Tecumseh School District in
Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma implemented a mandatory drug testing
policy for all public high school students participating in
extracurricular activities. The policy required those students to
consent to random, suspicionless drug testing via urinalysis. Two
students, Lindsay Earls and Daniel James, challenged the policy on
the ground that it violated their Fourth Amendment right to be free
from unreasonable searches.
