DRUG TESTING: APPLAUDS POLICY IN TRUSSVILLE

Bravo to Trussville City Schools for implementing a new random
drug-test policy. It is another great tool for parents and teachers to
ensure a quality, safe, drug-free education for our children.

This policy seems well thought out and fair. For parents who are truly
concerned about the safety and well-being of their children, this will
be a safeguard and, maybe, an early warning. For parents who suspect
there might be something that's "not quite right" with their child,
this will be a great help.

I agree it is a shame we have to resort to this kind of measure. But
as parents, we need to use every measure to stay one step ahead of our
children. When was the last time you checked the text messages and
pictures on your child's phone?

Proactive is always better than reactive.
