CABELL COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) — Next year, Cabell County schools will begin mandatory drug testing for many of its middle school students.
This year, it’s the Cabell County high school students who must consent to a drug test, or forget about playing football, cheerleading, or driving a car to school.
Inside Cabell Midland High School Tuesday, parking permits were only issued to students who have filled out a drug testing consent form.
Todd Alexander, the Cabell school system administrator in charge of drug testing, said every fall sports participant and extra curricular activity student has signed the mandatory consent form.
“We’ve checked the kids who played last year and are back, 100% compliance,” Alexander said.
Alexander said the actual testing of the 1,500 Cabell students will start in the next two weeks.
A computer will randomly pick up to 20 students at a time.
The drug tests including tests for illegal steroids will run weekly or biweekly.
