Students to get breath tests when going to school dances 學生參加舞會先酒測

Students at one Catholic high school in Iowa, USA are being tested to make sure they are not DUI — dancing under the influence.

Officials at Wahlert High School said students will have to take a breath test before they can go to any school-sponsored dances for the rest of this school year.

That includes the May 5 prom — a yearly dance for graduating students.

Principal Don Sisler said the school wants to make sure school events are alcohol free. "It's a big step, but it's a real simple one."

The school sent home a letter asking parents for permission to give students the test.

Students from other schools who go to the dance also must bring a signed form, Sisler said.

Students who test positive will be tested again, he said.

Sisler said the school previously used breath tests on some students when teachers suspected alcohol use at dances.

美國愛荷華州一所天主教高中生得接受測試，以確保他們不是「DUI」—酒醉跳舞。

華勒高中校方人員表示，從現在起到這學年結束，學生都得接受酒測才能參加任何學校贊助的舞會。

這包括了五月五日的舞會—年度畢業舞會。

校長唐．西斯勒表示，校方要確保校園活動都沒有酒精的蹤跡，「這是重大的一步，卻很容易做到。」

校方發函學生家長，請求家長同意對學生進行酒測。

西斯勒表示，參加舞會的他校生也必須帶家長同意書。

他表示，測試呈陽性反應的學生得再接受一次測試。

西斯勒表示，先前校方曾對部分遭老師懷疑在舞會上喝酒的學生進行酒測。
