Friday, August 04, 2006 • The Express-Times

WASHINGTON TWP. | Warren Hills Regional High School students are one step closer to facing random drug tests this fall.

The district school board on Thursday approved on first reading a policy instituting random drug testing at the high school. The policy will be up for final reading at the board's Aug. 15 meeting.

The program would require all athletes and students who participate in clubs or park their cars on campus to be tested. School officials expect at least 75 percent of the school's 1,400 students to qualify for the testing.

Warren Hills has had voluntary drug testing for high school athletes since 1997.
