Evaluations are available upon request. The Class Action Program is fully funded through the office of the governor of the commonwealth of Virginia. During the development of the program a start up grant was assigned to the city of Newport News for the overall development of the curriculum and evaluation components of the program. Following the successful piloting of Class Action by the city of Newport News, the program model was adopted by the Governor s office. Currently, program development, materials, and officer training is financed through the office of the Governor of the commonwealth of Virginia.
Local funding is provided through the use of police department personnel and equipment.
The community has actively been involved with the Class Action Program since its inception. The original planning involved a number of students from various schools within the community. These students were selected as a cross representation of not only their schools but the entire community. Following the development of the program portions of the Class Action Program was shared in civic and parent presentations as well as in-service programs for educators. In response to citizen demands currently the Commonwealth of Virginia is developing a specific parent component of the program.
