Out of 600 students they get 1 positive. Sounds like a good use of public funds to me... That will never make the national news. What a joke.

I live in N. Texas and Texas has the same program... what a waste of funds.

and its quit possible that the one dude that tested positive could be a false positive. i believe texas wasted 2 million dollars, not sure about florida but just imagine the extra text books, computers, teachers aids, etc that those funds could have been put towards.

I worked for a certain large corporation at one time which had a mandatory piss test before you could be hired (which many do have). The board then had the bright idea of repeating that test for every single employee every year, who knows why. Some perceived drug problem or making points with the government (they do have government contracts), don't know.

After the first year, an announcement came out that the "program" would cover the entire employee population only every 2 years. Then, after about 3 years or so, the whole program quietly disappeared - no announcement. No doubt, there were so few if any positives and/or the cost was getting to be too much.

Unfortunately for the Florida case, government is involved, which is usually oblivious to cost. That money could be used more productively for the schools.
