Vernonia School District V. Acton (1996)

Vernonia School District v. Acton is a ruling of the US Supreme Court aimed at maintaining the constitutionality of a random drug test that affects local public schools in Vernonia, Oregon. This rule requires students' athletes to undergo drug tests before being allowed to participate in sports activities. This special measure regulates the illegal use of prohibited substances to the students, as prescribed in the Constitution, in order to maintain social health, especially when dealing with drug regulations.

In the decision on drug testing policy of Oklahoma High School, Vernonia School District v. Acton's Supreme Court, 515 US 646 (1995), said that expectations for privacy are lower than ordinary citizens and that they are requesting inspections nationwide. This policy is effective as a condition for participating in high school sports. In addition, although the reason for testing high school students may not be considered, the Supreme Court confirmed that there is a special need in the public school district. The court concluded that random drug testing is effective as these programs have a strong interest in public systems to prevent drug use.

In the 1995 ruling, the Vernonia School District vs. Wayne Acton Supreme Court ruled that students participating in the athletics competition are permitted random, suspicious drug tests. This is because the school can prove to the court that there are more and more drug problems in the area, and athletes are leaders of this drug culture. Likewise, the legal problem faced by the Supreme Court is whether it infringes the student's fourth and fourteenth amendment rights. The discussion of the fourth amendment states that the Supreme Court of 1969 ruled that "children do not leave constitutional rights at the school's entrance and that general protection provided by the Constitution applies to school students" . Judgment of existence of "special needs" at public schools

As the court used the parent's position again, student urinalysis was maintained at Vernonia School v Acton (515 US 646) and reasons for using it, among other athletes, the expectation of athlete's privacy and the deterrence of drug use Decrease. Compulsory test court said: "Right of the fourth amendment is not different from the rights of other places in public schools, as well as the rights of the first and the fourteenth revision." "Rationality" School's responsibility for custody of children can not be ignored.
