Santa Clarita School District Lets Parents Track Drug Tests

The William S. Hart Union High School District plans to expand a first-of-its-kind program that allows Santa Clarita parents to track the results of random drug tests given to their children. More than 2,000 -- or 10% of -- junior high and high school students currently participate in the no-cost program, and officials would like to increase participation by 3% annually.
