RANDOM DRUG TESTING OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
At its November 10, 2008 meeting, the Board of Education heard a presentation on random drug testing for high school students who participate in extracurricular activities, and those who request parking privileges. A committee of administrators and school counselors has studied the issue for two years, and along with Hunterdon Central Principal Christina Steffner, presented an overview of their findings. The meeting was held at 7:00 PM in the William Annin Middle School auditorium. Please click here to view the presentation.
