A Massachusetts-based medical company hopes to expand its market into drug-testing private school students with the help of its CEO's brother.
.
James Kubacki oversees St. Edward High School in Cleveland, and his brother, Raymond Kubacki, is president and CEO of Psychemedics, which claims at least $7 million in quarterly revenue.
.
But the company sees an opportunity for growth.
.
"Our primary focus is workplace drug testing," Raymond Kubacki said last year. "Secondarily would be emerging markets, and one of those would be schools and colleges."
.
Cleveland Scene reported that the company will provide those services to three private schools in northeast Ohio, including St. Edward, that plan mandatory drug testing for all students starting next fall.
.
About 980 students at St. Edward will be tested for illegal drug use, along with 340 students at Gilmour Academy and about 1,500 at St. Ignatius High School.
.
No other schools in the area currently test students for drug use.
