The U.S. Department of Education has a requirement to develop an evaluation design for a study of the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (SDFSCA) Middle School Coordinators Initiative and, at the option of the government, to implement that design. One purpose of the study is to investigate the extent to which providing federal resources to support full-time school drug and violence prevention coordinators makes a positive difference in SDFSCA programming, and to help determine whether ED should recommend that all districts employ full-time coordinators. A secondary purpose is, therefore, to provide detailed information about the implementation process in grantee districts to serve as a model for other districts.
