**National Coordinators Program (84.184K)**

**Fiscal Year 2002 Grant Recipients**

The following school districts have been awarded a three-year grant
through the SDFS National Coordinators Program. The National Coordinator
Program Initiative will support the recruiting, hiring and training of
one or more full-time staff who will be responsible for developing,
conducting, and analyzing assessments of drug and crime problems at
their schools and administering the schools safe and drug-free grant
program. Research suggests that the presence of a full-time coordinator
will result in improved programming and, by extension, lead to improved
program outcomes. A well-trained staff member who is familiar with the
research on effective prevention programming and who uses the approach
to implementation set out in the Principles of Effectiveness will be
better able to make informed and appropriate choices in designing and
implementing prevention programs to meet the needs of students in the
schools they serve.
