Zero Tolerance Programs

The Power Line Construction & Maintenance and Electrical Utilities & Substation Technology programs at Mitchell Tech are zero-tolerance programs regarding a positive drug test.  If the results of a positive drug test are confirmed by a medical review officer and are not the result of medication currently prescribed to the student, the student will be dismissed from the program. The zero-tolerance policy is consistent with industry standards and is recommended by industry. For purposes of this section, a prescription does not include a written certification for use of medical marijuana, pursuant to SDCL 34-20G-1(23).
