Many of the schools already using AnComm’s ‘Talk About It®’ are leveraging a combination of local, state and Federal programs to support investments in their school safety initiatives.
Specifically, the Department of Education administered program called ‘Title IV – The Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act’ provides funding support to programs that prevent violence in and around schools.
The purpose of this Act is to support programs that prevent violence in and around schools; that prevent the illegal use of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs; that involve parents and communities; and that are coordinated with related Federal, State, school, and community efforts and resources to foster a safe and drug-free learning environment that supports student academic achievement, through the provision of Federal assistance to —
- States for grants to local educational agencies and consortia of such agencies to establish, operate, and improve local programs of school drug and violence prevention and early intervention;
- States for grants to, and contracts with, community-based organizations and public and private entities for programs of drug and violence prevention and early intervention, including community-wide drug and violence prevention planning and organizing activities;
- States for development, training, technical assistance, and coordination activities; and
- Public and private entities to provide technical assistance; conduct training, demonstrations, and evaluation; and to provide supplementary services and community-wide drug and violence prevention planning and organizing activities for the prevention of drug use and violence among students and youth.
