MRO, reported script as positive, now what?

If I were in your shoes and were told this by the administrator when starting class... I would have loudly yelled for a refund and took my business elsewhere. To act like that goes way... way beyond "unprofessional". It clearly reflects the administrator's... and the school's... "ethics". If they act like that going in... I can just imagine how they'll act in helping you find employment.

I once worked for a company that "loved" to spread the word around about employees being fired days before it would happen. Everyone knew except for the poor souls getting the boot. Really... really sad.

 

We did drug testing/DOT physicals and got our cards the first day at school. There was even some random testing done during the 3 weeks there.

 

40.23 What actions do employers take after receiving verified test results?
a) As an employer who receives a verified positive drug test result, you must immediately remove
the employee involved from performing safety-sensitive functions. You must take this action upon
receiving the initial report of the verified positive test result. Do not wait to receive the written report or the
result of a split specimen test.

 

40.26 What form must an employer use to report Management Information System
(MIS) data to a DOT agency?
As an employer, when you are required to report MIS data to a DOT agency, you must use the
form and instructions at appendix H to part 40. You must submit the MIS report in accordance with rule
requirements (e.g., dates for submission; selection of companies required to submit, and method of
reporting) established by the DOT agency regulating your operation.

Sorry, I did not take the time to read the link, but let's all remember, that the o/p to this thread is in school, not officially employed, so here in lies the important part.

As a school they MUST follow DOT regulations pertaining to pre-screening and random testings. But other than the DOT, who would they report it to.??

DAC?? I hardly think so, but we can never be too sure either.

Can they report it to any potential employer?? I hardly think so, but we can never be too sure of this as well.

But I'll say this much, IF IT WAS a trucking company SPONSORED school, then it will be reported to that company.

If it WAS a trucking company school, like say for instance, CR ENGLAND, Swift, Werner, then he'd be tossed out.

As it stands, the school MUST remove him from the attendance rolls, and HE MUST go to a SAP Program and pay that on HIS DIME, get "approved" and go back to school. I had a phone conversation with a buddy of mine late last night, that is involved in training.
