The next regular scheduled board meeting is set for Monday, July 23, 2018 @ 7 p.m.
The information that was received from the Random Drug Testing Survey this Spring, which was completed by 275 parent(s)/patron(s), identified that 75% of the respondents indicated some level of concern of drug use at Mission Valley with 35% of respondents reporting that they are extremely concerned. In addition, 60% of the respondents indicated that they believed a random drug testing program should be implemented at Mission Valley.
