GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — The Grand Island Northwest Public Schools board will consider a proposal to institute random drug testing for students who participate in extracurricular activities.

Superintendent Matt Fisher said the matter was placed on Monday’s agenda because some staff members have expressed concerns. Fisher also said a number of other schools are performing random drug testing of activities participants.

If the board is interested in pursuing such a policy, administrators will begin exploring various testing policies and present something for the board to consider at its December meeting.
