Overview
The purpose of the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities program is to support programs that prevent violence in and around schools and the illegal use of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs, and involve parents by coordinating these efforts and resources with other community, state and federal entities.
All public and private, non-profit schools serving students K-12 are eligible to apply for Title IV (Safe and Drug-Free Schools) funds. Scottsbluff Public Schools completes an application annually. In addition, all schools are encouraged to participate in school and district-wide opportunities that support youth and their healthy lifestyle decisions.
Safe & Drug Free Schools funding is meant to focus on tobacco, drug, alcohol and violence prevention initiatives.
