more growth

Here's another one - an initiative of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy - to educate on the benefits of schools-based drug testing - as well as the grant funds available to schools to run the programs.

Four summits across the country - this month and February.

Nice timing with FDA approval of Oraline coming at tghe same time - or soon after.

What were we saying about the 'right products at the right time"??

Regional Summits Planned on Random Student Drug-Testing

The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy will be hosting four regional Random Student Drug Testing Summits in 2008. Random student drug testing is a prevention strategy that can help deter children from initiating drug use. It can also identify children who have just started using drugs as well as children who have a dependency so that they may be referred to treatment. Student drug testing programs are developed by the schools in which they are implemented so that the program is specifically tailored to the needs of the community. All random student drug testing programs are designed to act as deterrent and are not by format or nature punitive.

The Random Student Drug Testing Summits will address relevant legal and program development issues and serve as an introduction for schools that would like to learn more about student drug testing. Participants will also be provided with information on Department of Education grants for the program. For schools that already have a program in place, new information will be available.

The 2008 drug testing summits are offered free of charge and the dates are as follows:
January 29 Jacksonville, FL
January 31 Oklahoma City, OK
February 6 Albuquerque, NM
February 13 Indianapolis, IN
