R-8 BOARD APPROVES DRUG TESTING
By RACHEL HUDDLESTON

The Joplin R-8 School Board decided May 9 that in order to participate in extracurricular activities, students must submit to random drug tests.
A voluntary drug test policy has been in effect for a while for athletes, but the new system is not voluntary and also includes other after-school activitities such as academic teams, cheerleading, and band.
School officials told KODE that they are interested in the students' welfare and by having students take these drug tests they are less likely to take drugs.
Why do we let them do this to us?
