Students Will Vote on Drug-Testing Program

Students in the school district in this rural logging community will vote Monday on whether they want to participate in a voluntary drug-testing program that will pick students for urine tests by lottery.

Under the plan, developed by students at Toutle Lake High School, two students would be chosen each week by lottery from a group of 9th- to 12th-grade volunteers to have their urine tested for drugs. The district would pay the $20 cost of the test.
