Putnam County School Board Considering Random Drug Testing
WEST VIRGINIA....
To combat drug use on school sports teams and in other after-school programs, Putnam County School Board members are considering a new policy which would require students to sign consent forms that allow them to be randomly drug tested in order to participate in extra-curricular activities. The policy also requires student drivers and parents to sign the consent form. Students refusing to sign the forms will be barred from participating in extra-curricular activities or from driving to school.
