Harsh winter = fewer random drug tests at Ohio high school

[UrbScotty]

Heavy snow and hazardous winter weather not only forced Fremont City Schools to cancel several school days this year, it also forced the district to scale back the implementation of its new drug testing policy.

Superintendent Traci McCaudy updated the school board Monday on the district’s drug testing efforts and other student wellness goals for the school year.

McCaudy said, as of April 30, the district had tested 156 of its 702 eligible students under the policy’s guidelines. The superintendent said while the district doesn’t have a set number of students it will test in a given school year, the poor winter weather in January, February and March definitely affected the number of tests that could be administered.

“We had to cancel many, many drug testing sessions,” McCaudy said.
