A WEST LAS VEGAS SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER IS CALLING FOR DRUG TESTS FOR SCHOOLS, TESTING EVERYONE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT DOWN TO SCHOOL ATHLETES. AMBROSIO CASTELLANO SAYS THE TESTS ARE NEEDED TO ADDRESS THE OPIOID ADDICTION IN THE STATE.
CASTELLANO SAYS DRUG TESTING EVERYONE IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM WOULD MAKE SCHOOLS SAFER. HE SAYS THE POINT OF DRUG TESTING IS NOT TO PUNISH BUT TO HELP THOSE HOOKED ON OPIOIDS. PEOPLE IN WEST LAS VEGAS ARE NOW TALKING ABOUT THIS KIND OF DRUG TESTING, BUT SOME SEE IT AS AN INVASION OF PRIVACY.
CASTELLANO, MEANWHILE, HOPES TO GET FEEDBACK FROM SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS AND TEACHERS.
