[Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Empowering Parents and Teachers for
a Drug-Free Education Act of 2004''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds as follows:
(1) Fifty-four percent of high school seniors in 2001 had
used an illicit drug in their lifetime.
(2) Forty-two percent of 12th graders, 37 percent of 10th
graders, and 20 percent of 8th graders in 2001 had used an
illicit drug in the past year.
(3) Eighty percent of 12th graders, 70 percent of 10th
graders, and 51 percent of 8th graders in 2001 had used alcohol
in their lifetime.
(4) Sixty-four percent of 12th graders, 48 percent of 10th
graders, and 23 percent of 8th graders in 2001 had been
intoxicated.
(5) Use of 3,4-methylenedioxy methamphetamine (commonly
referred to as ''MDMA'' or ''ecstasy'') by 12th graders
increased from 6 percent in 1998 to 11.7 percent in 2001.
(6) Schoolchildren who use and abuse addictive illicit
drugs or alcohol increase the risk to the health and safety of
all students and impact the learning environment of the school
because--
(A) use of illicit drugs or alcohol can lead to
serious health effects, the development of life-
threatening diseases, and even death;
(B) use of illicit drugs like marijuana or ecstasy
kills brain cells in the learning centers of the brain,
directly impacting a student's ability to learn in
school;
(C) chemicals left in the central nervous system
after using marijuana cause the brain to be irritated
and uncontrollable, resulting in disruptive behavior in
the classroom;
(D) students who smoke cigarettes or use other
illicit drugs have been shown to have less desire to
learn, resulting in lower grade point averages when
compared to other students; and
(E) students who use illicit drugs or alcohol have
a higher rate of breaking school rules.
