LOCAL SCHOOLS SHOULD TEST FOR DRUGS

EDITOR:

After reading the recent Wausau Daily Herald article, I was shocked, 
to say the least. I could not believe that in this day and age the 
Wausau School District (and other districts in the area) have not 
long ago required mandatory pre-employment drug testing.

I am now retired, but when employed here in Wausau my employer 
required mandatory pre-employment drug testing more than 25 years ago.

Do these districts believe it is okay for their employees, teachers 
and others, to be drug users?

It is time they changed their policy immediately. Kim Hall from the 
D.C. Everest Area School District was right, as quoted in the story, 
in saying, "We want good staff."
