Safe and Drug Free SchoolsPrinciples of EffectivenessThe President's fiscal year 1998 budget included appropriations language that would improve the accountability of the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities (SDFSC) program by requiring recipients of SDFSC State grants to use these funds for prevention strategies that meet principles of effectiveness to be published by the Secretary of Education. These principles, which would be published in the Federal Register for public comment, would be along the following lines:
The above principles are grounded in current research and designed to ensure that, within the very flexible framework of the SDFSC Act, States and school districts spend their SDFSC Funds in the most effective manner possible. The authorizing statute currently is so flexible, that recipients of these funds may be using them to support activities that are the most popular or the easiest to implement, but not necessarily the most effective at reducing drug use and violence among youth. The new principles of effectiveness are intended to preserve State and local flexibility but ensure that program funds are used in a manner most likely to result in positive outcomes.
