–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.

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