Finney High School in Detroit, Michigan, will start random drug testing on its students this fall. A three-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education is making the program possible.

"Three types of students will be tested: those who volunteer and have their parents' permission, those in athletic programs and those who participate in school-sponsored extracurricular activities."

The program will test for marijuana, heroin, prescription drugs, cocaine, and methamphetamines. Students who test positive won't be punished, but their parents will be notified. Source: The Detroit News
