At one point, the program was completely without staff. The lapse and turnover in staff that supervises the program has brought about gaps in service to the schools. There has been no new teacher training or updates in the past two to three years. There has also been staff turnover in the schools. The new DPP staff will have ti start from scratch, in some cases, to get the school-based program back on track.
Teachers report that the curriculum and teaching aids re complicated and time consuming.
