DISTRICT TO EXPAND DRUG TESTS

HATTIESBURG - The Lamar County School District is expanding its random drug testing program to include more than 1,000 of its nearly 9,250 students this year.

In the past few years, the district has randomly drug tested only about 350 students annually.

"My overall goal is to get to 2,000 to 3,000 drug tests a year, especially with our district growing," Superintendent Ben Burnett said.
