The Middle School Coordinator initiative will allow school districts to recruit, hire and train full-time school drug prevention and school safety coordinators to improve the quality of drug and violence prevention programs in middle schools. By providing these coordinators in middle schools, this initiative will support early intervention efforts that can have a long-term impact on reducing youth drug use and creating safer schools. Grants will support coordinators to help identify and assist schools in adopting successful research-based drug and violence prevention programs in middle schools across the country. Eligible applicants are local education agencies with significant drug, discipline, or school safety problems in their middle schools.

Summary of Program:
The goals of this competition are to identify models of innovative and effective alcohol and other drug prevention programs in higher education and to disseminate information about those programs to parents of prospective college students and to colleges and universities where similar efforts may be adopted.
