Eight teachers in trouble with the law over drugs in the past year.
July 23 - 2007 - The Kanawha County Board of Education is still debating random drug testing for teachers. They adopted a policy for random testing of bus drivers and mechanics. Three months ago the Board narrowly voted down testing for teachers.
"Eight [teachers], that I know of," said board member Pete Thaw when asked how many educators have been in trouble with the law over drugs in the past year."Another board member was unconcerned. "I feel that overall they are doing a darn splendid job," said Welch. "Like I say, we have a few that have misbehaved." (Barbara Welch is the only board member without biographical information at the school board website.)
