DRUG TESTING APPROVED IN BRIDGE CITY

BRIDGE CITY - Middle and high school students who wish to participate in extra-curricular activities or drive to school next year will be required to submit to random drug testing.

School board members voted Thursday night to implement a drug-testing policy for secondary students.  Teachers may also submit voluntarily to the random program.

Most parents and students at a public forum Thursday favored the policy; however, three men spoke out against it.
