SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 18
(By Senators White, Foster, Boley, Plymale, Wells, Browning,
Edgell, Laird, Oliverio, Stollings, Unger, Barnes and Guills)
[Originating in the Committee on Education]
Requesting the ad hoc committee of the Senate formed for the
purpose of studying substance abuse in the state of West
Virginia to include in its study an in depth review of the
relationship between substance abuse and high school dropouts
and an in depth review of existing programs in West Virginia
such as Cabell County's drug testing program for certain
students.
Whereas, The Senate President has formed an ad hoc committee
of the Senate to study substance abuse in the state of West
Virginia; and
Whereas, Testimony before a joint meeting of Subcommittee C of
the Joint Standing Committee on Education and Subcommittee C of the
Joint Standing Committee on the Judiciary during 2009-2010 interim
meetings indicated that a lot of the abuse and neglect caseload is
related to drug and alcohol abuse, particularly in the case of
parents of young children who fail to get them up for school in the
morning; and
Whereas, Cabell County Schools has implemented a drug testing program for certain students that would be helpful for the ad hoc
committee to review; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate:
That the ad hoc committee of the Senate formed for the purpose
of studying substance abuse in the state of West Virginia include
in its study an in depth review of the relationship between
substance abuse and high school dropouts and an in depth review of
existing programs in West Virginia such as Cabell County's drug
testing program for certain students; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby directed to forward
a copy of this resolution to the members of the ad hoc committee of
the Senate formed for the purpose of studying substance abuse in
the state of West Virginia.
