— DRIVER ACKNOWLEDGMENT —

DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING POLICY AND MATERIALS

            I have received a copy of the Drug and Alcohol Testing Policy of Independent School District No. ____, _______________, Minnesota and have read it in its entirety.   I understand that I am subject to the provisions of Article III of the policy, entitled Drug and Alcohol Testing for Bus Drivers, because the position involves operating a commercial motor vehicle and requires a commercial driver’s license.

            The District’s policy was provided to me:

              G        Upon adoption of the policy.  (employee).

              G        Upon my hire.  (job applicant/new employee).

              G        After receipt of my conditional job offer, before any testing if my job offer is contingent upon my passing of drug and alcohol testing.  (job applicant).

            I also received materials concerning the effects of alcohol and controlled substances use on an individual’s health, work, and personal life; signs and symptoms of an alcohol or drug problem; and available methods of intervening when an alcohol or drug problem is suspected.

            I have been advised that the Alcohol and Controlled Substances Testing Program Manager is _____________________________ and that any questions I may have concerning the Policy should be directed to the Program Manager.

Dated:                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Signature of Employee/Applicant                                                                                       Typed or Printed Name
