Frederick County officials debated expansion of drug testing with Commissioner Sterling Bollinger urging tests for teachers and public safety workers. A school official said teachers fall under the Board of Education, not county control, and tests would require school board action and bargaining with the Frederick County Teachers Association. The county approved a memo on drug-free workplace requirements under federal law and directed a legal review of testing for all employees.
