Michigan Drug and Alcohol Policy

- Testing will ordinarily be conducted during, immediately before or immediately after
regularly scheduled work or school hours. For current employees, time spent in testing and in
traveling to and from the regular work site to the place of testing, is work time.
- Whenever a Drug or Alcohol impairment test is done at the request of DSDT pursuant to this
policy, the school will pay the actual costs of the testing. In addition, when testing is done at
locations over than the school facility, the school will pay reasonable transportation costs for
the travel to and from the site to the testing location.

- Sample collection shall be performed under reasonable and sanitary conditions;
- Sample collections shall be labeled in such a way as to reasonably preclude the possibility of
misidentification of test results;
- Prior to testing, the individual shall be provided with an opportunity to notify DSDT of any
information relevant to the test;
- Sample collection, storage, and transportation, where necessary shall be performed in a
manner reasonably designed to preclude the possibility of sample contamination adulteration,
or misidentification.
- Sample testing will be done in such a way as to comply with scientifically accepted
analytical methods and procedure, and by a laboratory approved or certified by, at least, one
of the following: United states Department of Health and Human Services, College of
American Pathologist or a state department of health and human services.
- Upon the written request of the individual, a positive Drug test result shall be confirmed by a
subsequent test, using a different chemical process than used in the initial drug screen. A
chromatographic technique or another comparably reliable analytic method will be conducted
confirming results.

- Employees and students have the right, upon written request, to obtain a copy of the written
test results.
- DSDT will not release information relating to testing, including test results, to any third
parties except upon written authorization of the employee or student, or when legally
compelled to do so.

Refusal to participate in Drug or Alcohol impairment testing when requested to do so, or refusal to accept the terms and conditions of testing as specified in this policy, may result in disciplinary
action, up to and including termination from DSDT. If applicable, prospective employees or students who refuse to undergo Drug or Alcohol impairment testing are not eligible for hire or
admission (respectively).

<strong><em>Please direct any questions, concerns, or reports regarding this policy to the School Director.</em></strong>

The use or possession of alcoholic beverages is expressly prohibited in classrooms, lecture halls,
laboratories, the libraries, and within buildings or arenas where events, lectures, and meetings are held. The use of alcoholic beverages is expressly prohibited in all public areas of campus
buildings. For employees only, social activities held off-premises and paid for on a personal basis are generally not affected by this policy. If management considers it appropriate and approves of such use in writing, alcoholic beverages may be served at company-sponsored events held off-premises and for purely social reasons.

Under Michigan law, it is illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to purchase, consume, possess or have any bodily content of alcohol. The following summarizes some of the potential legal consequences for violating state law:
A first-time conviction may result in a fine, substance abuse education and treatment, community service and court-ordered drug screenings.

There also is a provision for possible imprisonment or probation for a second or subsequent offense.

The use of false identification by minors in obtaining alcohol is punishable with a fine, loss of driver's license, probation and community service.

<strong>Individuals can be arrested and/or convicted of operating a vehicle while intoxicated with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level at .08 or higher.</strong> If a student is under 21, there is a "zero tolerance" law in the state of Michigan, and any blood alcohol level of .01 or higher can lead to a minor in possession (MIP) citation as well as being cited for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, if applicable. This is in addition to suspension of driving privileges in the state of Michigan.

All students, employees, and visitors are on notice that the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act (MMMA) and the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana Act (MRTMA) conflicts with federal criminal laws governing controlled substances, as well as federal laws requiring institutions receiving federal funds, by grant or contract, to maintain drug-free campuses and workplaces. DSDT participates in federal grant programs which would be in jeopardy if those federal laws did not take precedence over state law. Thus, the use, possession, or cultivation of marijuana in any form and for any purpose on DSDT’s property or premises violates the DSDT Drug and Alcohol Policy. DSDT will not allow the use, possession, or cultivation of marijuana or marijuana paraphernalia on its property or DSDT-controlled premises, even if a student, employee, or visitor has been properly certified as a medical marijuana user. Students, employees, and visitors will be asked to remove or dispose of their marijuana from DSDT’s property and premises immediately. Furthermore, the MMMA and MRTMA states that employers are not required to accommodate employees who use medical marijuana; therefore employers have the right to refuse employment to anyone who fails a drug test. Additionally, the State of Michigan prohibits a person from undertaking any task under the influence of marijuana, when doing so would constitute negligence or professional malpractice, as in many areas of the medical field. As a result, drug testing may be required at any time by a prospective employer consistent with the laws of the State of Michigan and the requirements of potential employers
