Alcohol and Drug Defense Program (ADD) 1994-95. Evaluation Report.
Dulaney, Charles N.
The Wake County Public School System used Alcohol and Drug Defense Program (ADD) federal funds in 1994-95 to reduce the impact of drugs and alcohol on the system's 12 high schools by implementing a Student Assistance Program (SAP). SAP provides intervention and support for students identified as being at risk of substance abuse because of academic or personal problems. This report describes SAP and ADD activities that are not federally funded. Major findings were: high school student suspensions for tobacco use rose from 97 in the previous year to 139, suspensions for alcohol or drug use or possession rose from 133 to 154; 33% of parents of high school students agreed that "drugs and alcohol use are causing behavioral problems at my child's school"; and 68% of high school teachers agreed that the use of alcohol and drugs cause behavioral problems, even while teachers believe they are not well prepared to address the problem in their classrooms. The report contains the following ADD program information: (1) program description including background, funding, staff, evaluation design and methodology; (2) findings of high school parent and school staff surveys, suspensions for drug and alcohol policy violations, and SAP; (3) conclusions and recommendations; and (4) an attachment of unique results from the staff survey.
