No, neither are your daycare providers. MCPS employs more than 14,000 teachers, who will be paying and administering drug testing every year for them?

| Many other professionals are not, law-enforcement agencies have an initial drug screening for hiring, but officers usually aren't tested for the rest of their careers. |

| Drug testing only really works when it's random. All the "scary" drugs you are looking for are out of your system in a matter of days. Could do cocaine on a Friday night and be clean by Monday morning. The only drug that would stay in your system long enough to even be worth screening for is marijuana and now that it's legalized here in Maryland you are going to have one hell of an uphill battle getting that to be a disqualifying test. |

| What is it that you are concerned about, OP? A teacher who comes in strung out and is a danger, or making sure a mom who works hard all week isn’t unwinding with a THC gummy over the weekend? |

They don't and give 30 days notice of testing otherwise |

| What's the concern exactly? None of the people who handle important things in your life are regularly drug tested. If your suspicious that their teacher is coming in to work high that's a different concern. |

| I'd say the most dangerous drugs are the ones you see on pharma TV commercials and the types of amphetamines that tons of kids are prescribed as they bounce off the walls and admin blames and fires teachers. |
