SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

Senate Bill 606 appropriates $50.0 to the SDE to provide for a drug demand reduction (DDR) program through the civil air patrol for at-risk-middle school students.

Significant Issues

CAP’s Middle School Initiative/Drug Demand Reduction offers, through its youth program, a long-term (eight years) mentoring program that addresses leadership skills, respect for others, community building, self-esteem and goal-setting.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

Senate Bill 606 appropriates $50.0 from the general fund to the SDE and is recurring.

ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS

According to SDE, SB-606 does not explain whether the appropriation would go to schools currently implementing CAP DDR programs or how the appropriation would be divided. SDE staff would need to assess existing CAP DDR programs in order to determine the need for a request for proposal and procedure for dissemination of funds.
