LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) _ An advisory board has delayed a vote on whether to
recommend banning Little Rock School District employees from using medical
marijuana on district property.
The Little Rock School District is under state control, but its Community
Advisory Board issues recommendations to Arkansas Education Commissioner Johnny
Key. At a meeting Thursday, the board put off making a decision for a month
because three members were absent.
The state’s first medical marijuana dispensaries opened earlier this month ,
more than two years after voters decided to legalize the medicinal use of the
drug.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that the district’s proposals specify
that all employees in the safety and security department, as well as those who
are required to hold commercial driver’s licenses, are subject to random drug
testing.
