VIDOR SCHOOL DISTRICT STILL WAITING TO START DRUG TESTING

VIDOR - Now in the fourth week of school, the Vidor Independent School District has yet to set a date as to when its mandatory, random drug testing will begin.  Advertisement

Testing could begin as soon as October, but it will definitely occur sometime this fall, said Willie Hayes, assistant superintendent of personnel and school operations.

Last year, the VISD Board of Trustees approved the random testing, and it was scheduled to begin in the 2005-06 school year.  However, in September 2005, the school district announced the program would be postponed because consent forms were not distributed in a timely manner, VISD board President Michael Quinn said.
