The number of schools testing students for drug use is rising as legal barriers to testing have fallen, funding for it has jumped and schools have begun to expand the categories of students who can be screened.
Since the Supreme Court ruled in 2002 that random testing of student athletes and others in competitive extracurricular activities did not violate the students' privacy rights, the Bush administration had made testing middle- and high-school students a priority.
In 2006, a University of Michigan study said 50% of 12th-graders surveyed last year addmitted they had tried an illicit drug.
