–AP Wichita District to Use Bus Drivers as Custodians

Students at Akron’s St. Vincent-St. Mary High School will be randomly tested after entering football games through a designated gate.

Despite stating that there’s been no evidence of alcohol abuse at games, school officials say students who refuse the testing will receive mandatory suspensions.

School officials say only four out of 705 families at St. Vincent-St. Mary have complained about the decision.
