The North Hunterdon-Voorhees Regional High School District (New Jersey) has revised its drug policies after a fierce debate that began in June of last year. Thirteen students were pulled from the school’s senior program for blood-alcohol testing. Though five of the students tested positive, parents of the other students were outraged that their students missed the prom.
"Board member Barbara Walter, who co-chaired the task force, said after Tuesday night's meeting that students provided administrators with invaluable input that not only led to policy changes, but also to wider implementation of the rules."
According to the new policy, any student involved in athletics or other extra-curricular activities must submit to random drug and alcohol testing.
