High School To Start Random Breathalyzer Tests

(AP) LOS GATOS Los Gatos High School plans to join a growing number of
high schools that perform random breath alcohol tests on students at
dances and other events.

Principal Doug Ramezane said he would institute the new policy after
winter break because several students were found to be under the
influence of alcohol at football games, the school's Coronation Ball
and even during class this year.

"It isn't OK that any of these kids are doing it," Ramezane said. "It
probably isn't going to eliminate the problem completely, but we want
to minimize alcohol and drug use."

Although Los Gatos High has had a Breathalyzer alcohol detector
available at school dances for several years, campus officials have
only used it when they suspected a particular student was drunk. In the
future, students will be tested at random, he said.

Los Gatos police are training teachers on how to identify the use of
alcohol or drugs in school and have contacted teen groups on campus
about participating in an upcoming meeting in January, said Los
Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Chief Scott Seaman.
