Section 912-A. Urine analysis; drug detection

1. The school authorities of
  each school district within the state may cause all  children  attending
  grades  seven  through  twelve,  inclusive,  in  the  public and private
  schools located within such districts, to be  separately  and  carefully
  examined  in order to ascertain whether any such children are making use
  of dangerous drugs.
    2. Such examination may be made  only  upon  the  written  request  or
  consent of a parent of, or person in parental relation to, a child. Such
  examination  shall  be  conducted  without notice to the child and shall
  include the supervised taking of a urine sample which shall be  analyzed
  for  such  drugs  and  in  accordance  with  such  standards as shall be
  acceptable to the New York state  office  of  alcoholism  and  substance
  abuse services, or its successor agency. The results of such examination
  shall  be  promptly forwarded to the school authorities. If it should be
  ascertained, upon such test or examination, that any child is making use
  of dangerous drugs, the school authorities  shall  report  same  to  the
  social services department for the social services district wherein such
  school  is  located and to the parent of, or person in parental relation
  to, such child together with a statement to such  parent  or  person  in
  parental relation as to available programs and facilities to combat such
  dangerous  drug  usage.  The  local  social services department shall be
  empowered, in an appropriate case, to take such action  and  offer  such
  protective social services as are prescribed by title six of article six
  of the social services law.
    3.  Except  as required in this section, information resulting from an
  examination  conducted  pursuant  to  this   section   shall   be   kept
  confidential  and shall not be used for law enforcement purposes but may
  be utilized only for statistical, epidemiological or research purposes.
    4. Any record or information  compiled  from  such  examination  which
  identifies  an  individual student as a user of dangerous drugs shall be
  maintained separate and apart  from  such  student's  other  educational
  records  and  in appropriate confidence and shall be destroyed upon such
  student's graduation or final severance from the  secondary  educational
  school system in this state.
    Notwithstanding any provision of this section to the contrary, no such
  examination  shall  be  required  where a student objects thereto on the
  grounds that such examinations conflict with their genuine  and  sincere
  religious beliefs.
