Summits and Presentations
In response to growing interest among schools in random student drug testing, ONDCP took to the road in 2004 with regional drug-testing summits to inform community leaders and school officials about student drug testing and to promote discussion of this issue at the local level. To date, the agency has hosted 17 summits across the country and more are being planned. At each summit, national and regional experts speak on a variety of topics, including the methods of testing available, legal issues, program development, funding sources, and the importance of student assistance programs. Their presentations are available for reference below. You can also listen to audio recordings of the presentations or download the audio recordings synced to the slide show presentations from a recent Random Student Drug Testing Summit.
