Communities that Care Project
Creating a Safe School Infrastructure
While many violence prevention strategies are effective alone, their
value is greater when they are combined. Moreover, effective drug and violence
prevention education programs must involve all members of a community.
Schools alone cannot solve the problem. Learning at home about remaining
nonviolent is very important, of course, but school and community programs
are also valuable partners.
The Albion Public Schools has formed a Violence Free School Committee.
This committee consists of interested community members and the Assistant
Superintendent. Meetings are held monthly and the committee reports
to the Superintendent. Results of evaluation will be reported annually
and shared at school board meetings. The plan will be reviewed and
updated annually.
Substance
Abuse Prevention Partnerships
Community Prevention Network
The Community Prevention Network is a community based partnership
of representatives from community organizations who come together
regularly to discuss and act on specific community issues and concerns as they
affect a wide range of substance abuse related problems and conditions.
