Medical marijuana is legal in Florida, but federal regulations continue to categorize cannabis as a Schedule I Controlled Substance, like heroin, LSD and ecstasy.
School Board General Counsel Paul Gibbs says the school district must be a drug-free workplace to receive certain federal grants.
Enright disclosed her medical marijuana use when she took a drug test after an injury at work.
She said she didn’t realize that her medication violated the district’s policy.
