@BCHSstudentnews
Depending on the nature of the report, school officials may follow up with parent contact in order to partner in supporting the physical, social, emotional, or spiritual needs of the student. In certain circumstances, school officials may assist in connecting families with outside agencies for educational, evaluative, or counseling needs.
In situations where a student is referred or has referred themselves over concerns related to drug or alcohol abuse or addiction, it is the intent of the SAP program to provide an avenue for the student to receive assistance without incurring a disciplinary penalty. Upon honest admittance of drug or alcohol use, the student:
- May be required to submit to an initial drug test to establish a baseline of usage
- May be required to complete a professional drug/alcohol assessment at the family’s expense and complete all follow-up recommendations
- May be required to participate in a drug/alcohol education program at the family’s expense
- May be subject to future drug testing administered by the school and/or an outside drug testing company at the family’s expense (future positive drug tests would result in consequences outlined in the Student Life Substance Abuse Policy)
Note: Reports made in an effort to avoid disciplinary consequences after an incident that the school is aware of or may become aware of will not result in disciplinary immunity.
Reports made through the SAP program are considered sensitive and confidential. Please note that BCHS school officials must abide by existing state and federal laws and are required in certain situations to contact law enforcement and/or the Indiana Department of Child Services.
