Hazel Daniel Moore Land Lab work detailed
Kyle Prueter of Great Lakes Biomedical shared about their program for random and mandatory drug testing for student athletes and student drivers Thursday evening during the Ridgemont Board of Education meeting as the district continues to explore a drug testing option.
His company has been doing this work with schools for more than 20 years and answered many questions such as: Why would the school only drug test athletes and drivers instead of all high school students?
