The District’s public school system has not — as required by law — implemented mandatory drug and alcohol screenings of more than 8,000 employees who are regularly in contact with children, a city report obtained by The Washington Examiner has found.

“The D.C. Code requires that [DC Public Schools] employees who work in safety-sensitive positions undergo mandatory drug and alcohol testing,” D.C. Inspector General Charles Willoughby wrote. “This requirement is not being enforced at DCPS, and the policy and procedures necessary to implement testing of DCPS appointees and employees have not been finalized.”
