ASHEVILLE - The Buncombe County Board of Education will
consider Wednesday whether to implement mandatory drug
testing at Roberson High School.
The random testing program would involve athletes and
other students involved in extracurricular activities.
The goal is to provide students with an incentive to
avoid illicit drugs.
"I think anyone would be extremely nave to say
there is not a drug problem in Buncombe County
schools," school board Chairman Roger Aiken said.
