As a service to its member districts, the Butte Schools Self-Funded Programs operates a consortium for required random alcohol and drug testing under the US Department of Transportation's (DOT) Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 (OTETA) and the Code of Federal Regulations DOT-FMCSA, 49 CFR part 382.
The consortium covers approximately 200 safety-sensitive positions for certain K-12 districts in Butte County as well as the Butte County Office of Education and Butte-Glenn Community College District. Under the OTETA, each year 10% of the consortium participants must be randomly selected for being under the influence of alcohol while performing a safety-sensitive position and 50% of the participants must be similarly tested for the influence of drugs.
Who is affected? Any person who holds a commercial drivers license is considered to have consented to such testing as is required by an state or jurisdiction as well as any safety-sensitive function (mechanic, etc.).
Butte Schools Self-Funded Programs is fully committed to providing accessible facilities, elements and
channels of communication to all members of the public. As part of this commitment, Butte Schools Self-Funded Programs
has a policy of providing an accessible website compatible with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and
commercial screen reading software. All features of the website are coded to allow individuals with vision and
other impairments to understand and use the website to the same degree as someone without disabilities. We welcome
feedback and can often resolve issues in a timely manner if they arise.
If you need any special assistance or accommodations:
Butte Schools Self-Funded Programs has designated a compliance officer for website disability-related accommodations.
The compliance officer has received training in website accessibility and updates the site in accordance with those best
practices. Contact our accessibility officer to report an issue.
Compliance Procedures and Reports
In addition to testing with users with a wide range of disabilities and coding our website to WCAG standards,
