OF 550 HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES DRUG-TESTED IN BULLITT, ONE WAS POSITIVE

Only one Bullitt County high school student tested positive for drugs last school year, though nearly 550 tests were given. 

"It's great news," said Jaime Goldsmith, the district's director of safe and drug-free schools.  "It dispels some of those rumors that it's running rampant."

Last year was the first for Bullitt's random drug-testing program.  Athletes from Bullitt Central and Bullitt East high school were randomly selected to participate.
