Iowa law prohibits random _________ of high school students.

• A. Drug Testing
• B. Detentions
• C. Surveys
• D. Searches

Answer: (A)

Student privacy and school drug-testing policies. In Iowa, testing all high school students on a random basis for drugs is not allowed, so the action described is drug testing. This reflects a safeguard against blanket, suspicionless testing and points to how the law permits testing only under specific, justified circumstances (such as suspicion or participation in certain activities and with proper consent). Detentions are a disciplinary measure and not governed by this same restriction, surveys fall under separate consent rules and aren’t inherently prohibited by this statute, and searches operate under different standards like reasonable suspicion rather than being random.
