I for one agree with the teachers(who voted YES).... but test ALL of us in the DOE. If you have nothing to hide, why worry? I work in a High School in Hilo and the BIG complaints come from teachers who most suspect do drugs. The LOTUS notes this past week were unreal with all the talk of selling PEE and how to beat drug tests, the Principal finally put his foot down and said ENOUGH ,because teachers were sending messages to ALL of us on LOTUS and many did not want to hear their views.
Hawai'i teachers will have to wait for absentee ballots to be turned in by Wednesday before they'll know whether they have a new contract that calls for pay raises and random drug testing.
Some 60 percent of Hawai'i's teachers — or nearly 8,000 people — cast ballots at 25 polling places on all islands yesterday on whether to accept a new two-year contract.
But 1,900 absentee ballots are still outstanding and "could sway the outcome of the vote," the union's president, Roger Takabayashi, said last night.
Teachers have until Wednesday to turn in their absentee ballots, when the results of the votes will be announced, he said.
I guess they will find out Wednesday.
