Message from the Oregon Department of Education:

During the 2007 Session, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 517 in an attempt to respond to the very serious issue of use and abuse of anabolic steroids and performance enhancing substances among school-age children. It also specifically prohibited school district employees from promoting the use of these types of products and substances. During the 2008 Session, the content from SB 517 was updated with technical changes as part of Senate Bill 1066. One component of the legislation is the training of athletic directors and coaches once every four years on anabolic steroids and performance enhancing substances. ODE and representatives from a variety of Oregon Athletic Organizations worked on developing the online training and Survey Monkey assessment. The PowerPoint training and assessment is now available online for coaches and athletic directors. After successful completion of the assessment, a certificate will be emailed to the participant to provide to their district.
