Next month, Laurel will provide a breakdown of age groups who are utilizing the pass. Scholarship Program - We had a dozen requests for applications for these scholarships that will pay for studentsto take classes music, dance or art at CSMA after school. So far, we have five participating students. We expect to receive more applications. In addition, we have spoken to Sam Velasquez at CSMA about the possibility of us giving them a mini -grant of $500 or $1000 to create a group class at a satellite location. Public Awareness Campaign - We will be using the core messages from the National YouthAnti-Drug Campaign, developed bOffice of National Drug Control Policy: 1) Truth. The Anti -Drug. 2) Honesty. The Anti -Drug 3) Communication. The Anti -Drug. 4) Love. The Anti -Drug. The core messages will be targeted to parents and caregivers. The campaign will include: print ads, flyers, radio, TV. A graphic designer, DianeTessaglia-Hymes, has been hired to create a campaign that has a local feel to it. A web designer, Christopher, DelCollo, has also been hired to design a website for the Community Drug Task Force that will be launched with this campaign. It is tentatively being called www.ithacaparents.org. When the design process is further along, we will take a detailed look at the whole campaign and timeline for rolling out these elements. Friends and Neighbors Group Laurel will be meeting with Nancy Potter at Cooperative Extension to see if they are willing to collaborate with us on the Friends and Neighbor Group outreach project, which was proposed by Sara Hess. This project is designed to train a core group of about 10-15 parents as peer coaches, who will then facilitate discussions in at-home, `Tupperware -type' gatherings among parents, friends and neighbors. The goal is to increase knowledge about the protective factors for youth. This setting can be a vehicle for information, support and reinforcement of positive family values. Discussion of IHS Prevention Planning Survey Report. We had a discussion about this report that was given in addition to the American Drug and Alcohol Survey. The questions measure social and personal characteristics that research studies show are related to drug use and/or violence. Most of these risk and protective • factors fall into four different categories: 1) peers 2) the family 3) the school 4) the child's attitudes and beliefs. Although there are other influences, the emphasis throughout the report was placed on these main four categories. The discussion of the data led to questions by some of the newer members of the task force about the mission of the task force and our priorities. I've included in these minutes our mission statement and our current priorities. The mission of the Community Drug Task Force of Ithaca, New York is to: 1) Reduce substance abuse among youth, and over time adults in Ithaca and the surrounding municipalities. 2) To strengthen the Community Drug Task Force partnerships with Ithaca City School District, City of Ithaca, surrounding municipalities, local universities and colleges, existing community private not-for-proft organizations and local and state government. The specific programs being developed and implemented to realize these goals: 1) Public Awareness campaign at Ithaca High School that revolves around a ground- breaking Social Norms Marketing Campaign . 2) A community basedPublic Awareness and Education Campaign targeting parents, caregivers, guardians and adults working with youth. It will involve print, radio and television and various community private not-for-profit organizations,. and local and state governments. 3) Transportation - Youth Bus Passes - on public transit to allow youth to participate in healthy, positive after school" activities. 4) A+ Tutoring Program targeted for African American youth in Ithaca High School. 5) Scholarships for High Risk Students that enable them to participate in enrichment activities after school such as arts, music and dance classes. 6) Prevention, Intervention and Education - The Community Drug Task Force through its partnership with the Mental Health Association will provide programs for the prevention, education and intervention of parents, youth and community organizations. Goals and Objectives The Community Drug Task Force has worked to bring a diverse community together to tip the scales and measureably improve the welfare of children and the entire community by reducing the incidence of substance abuse. We have made significant progress in this four year initiative towards accomplishing our goals: Goals Goal I: Reduce substance abuse among youth, and over time adults, by addressing the factors in a community that serve to increase the risk of substance abuse and factors that serve to minimize the risk of substance abuse. Goal II: Establish and strengthen collaboration among communities; Federal, State, Local governments; and private nonprofit agencies and to support community coalition efforts to prevent and reduce substance abuse among youth. Objectives This four year initiative will accomplish goals by focusing funding efforts in three main objectives: 1) creating a progressive, district wide and county wide Public Awareness and Education Campaign targeted towards parents, caregivers, guardians and adults working with youth; along with a special emphasis on a Social Norms Marketing Campaign targeted towards youth. 2) Prevention, Intervention and Education initiatives through the collaboration of the Community Drug Task Force and its partnership with the Mental Health Association. 3) Increasing the Partnership with Ithaca City School District , promoting collaborative initiatives and partnerships with the Ithaca City School District, Community Drug Task Force, existing community youth programs, local government, and law enforcement. The programs we have designed are inter-related, forming a comprehensive stratgey designed to meet our goals and objectives and foster successful community partnerships and collaborations. Public Awareness campaign at Ithaca High School that revolves around a ground- breaking Social Norms Marketing Campaign . Traditionally most prevention efforts have focused on reducing the negative behaviors. Research now shows that it is more effective to strengthen and increase `protective' behaviors (i.e. healthy behaviors.) We can increase the protective behaviors by documenting the true norm. Among young people there is a perception that there is much more negative behavior than is really the case. In most cases, their peers' behavior is more moderate and more responsible than they thought. The research shows that this incorrect perception of the norm tends to increase the negative behavior. The concept of a Social Norms Marketing Campaign is to give students the correct information about the true norm through a media campaign. This has been done very successfully on college campuses. This initiative includes print and electronic media that have been specifically designed to reduce misperceptions of student norms and thereby reduce levels of alcohol and other drug use and the resulting consequences. The media must have the following elements; 1) a positive message 2), it must be inclusive 3) it must be empowering. In order for this message to work it must be based on good data and the media must be considered `cool' by the target population of students. We are working with Alan Berkowitz, a consultant who helps colleges, universities, and communities develop innovative programs in the drug prevention, sexual,assault prevention, and diversity fields. He is nationally known for his approach of the social ntrm theory and is a local resident committed to working with the Community Drug Task Force. Hiss- approach is an empirically driven strategy, which is based on the research finding that students tend to over-estimate considerably the amount of alcohol and drug use of their peers, while parents tend to under-estimate the norm and becptire carriers of the misperceptions. The first key step was begun in December 1999, was to develop a social norms survey instrument. Berkowitz worked with a Cornell University professor and two graduate students to develop this survey. It was ready to be administered in March 2000, and the data collected was used to develop the core positive norm statements. The survey measured self- reported behavior and perception of use. It was administered to 270 IHS students in grades 9-12. The data was then analyzed and Berkowitz then developed the multiple positive norm statements about alcohol and other drugs. The following statements were selected to be used in posters and table tents: 1) What did you do last weekend? In a typical week, 92% of IHS students didn't drink. 2) 78% of IHS students had their best times with friends without drinking. 3) 67% of IHS students usually drink soda, juice or water at a party. 4) In the last 30 days, IHS students had fun with friends without using alcohol and other drugs doing the following things: 51% doing a hobby 67% playing sports 62% going out to eat 71% going to the movies 60% going to the mall or shopping 85% hanging out at someone's hosue 53% computer or video game activities 73% of IHS students have never smoked pot. The posters and table tents were designed by an award-winning local advertising firm, Garrity Communications, Garrity Communications is very familiar with the social norms approach - they designed Cornell University's Social Norms Marketing campaign. We worked closely with IHS student focus groups to refine the designs until they passed the 'cool' test (i.e. the students had a strong, very favorable response.) The campaign was launched in May 2000. In addition, our multiple positive norm statements about alcohol and other drugs were woven into interesting tidbits of information called `Campus Factoids.' Campus Factoids is a desktop screensaver program now installed on all the computers at the high school. There are approximately 200 Campus Factoids that were collected by team of IHS students. These `Factoids' randomly appear on the computer screen. Every fifth statement is a positive norm statement -- a combination of alcohol and drug education and `Jeopardy.' The `Campus Factoids' deal with characteristics of the student body such as political opinions, hours spent studying, current events, pop culture and many other topic areas. The topics are drawnTrom'a broad spectrum of sources to keep up student interest and to reflect the academic and social values of the community. Some 'Factoids' are amusing, some are surprising, and some are disturbing. They are accompanied bythe same colorful, eye- catching graphics used on the posters and table tents. This highly successful online, electronic program model has been used with great success at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, New York and has been adopted by other universities including Cornell University. Implementation of the `Campus Factoids' program was made possible by Dr. David Craig of Hobart and William Smith Colleges who trained Ithaca City School District employees. In addition, Berkowitz educated the key stakeholders about the social norms theory by holding workshops for IHS faculty and admininistrators at the Superintendent's Conference Day in March 2000. We are extremely encouraged by the positive response to the Social Norms Marketing . Campaign. Research indicates that the long term effectiveness of this method is dependent on the `dosage' - students will need repeated exposures to these images (i.e. images need to be -seen a minimum of 10 times before an individual internalizes it.) We will continue to modify and improve these images and `Campus Factoids' into the next school year. A random selection of students will be given a survey admininstered by the Community Drug Task Force and the Ithaca City School District to evaluate the effectiveness of the Social Norms Marketing Campaign. In addition, the Rocky Mountain Data Survey (administered in January 2001), percentages should illustrate the effects of the campaign. Public Awareness and Education Campaign The community based Public Awareness and Education Campaign is in the developmental stage. The target audience will be parents, caregivers, guardians and adults who work with youth. It is absolutely essential that the messages and strategies that are developed complement the ground -breaking Social Norms Campaign at Ithaca High School. This is one of the first high schools in the country to implement this model, which has been extremely successful on college campuses. It was essential to wait until the Social Norms Campaign was successfully launched at the high school before this piece could be completely developed and implemented. We want to: 1) send a strong and effective message to our target population correcting the norm regarding the perception of alcohol and other drug use among youth and parents. 2) Direct them to the Community Drug Task Force website. The website will include links to both national and local websites that will connect parents with the educational resources, information and help that they need. The campaign will revolve around a few core messages to create radio, print and TV spots to be run on local media outlets. Communities often use the media as a vehicle to bring about changes in community practices, programs and norms. Various forms of media attention can also be very helpful in strengthening and augmenting effective strategies. We do not intend to use the media necessarily as an effective strategy on its own but rather as a tool thatcan be used to promote and support effective strategies. The evaluation of the media campaign will be administered by a telephone survey to 500 residents in the area of the Ithaca City School District. Transportation - Youth Bus Passes Research has shown that afterschool hours are the time when our children are most at risk. In increasing numbers, parents from all walks of life believe that encouraging their children to participate in healthy activities during after school hours can keep them safe, improve their academic performance and social development. The single largest obstacle for our local youth to participate in after school programs or local youth programs is the lack of transportation. These youth bus passes will allow transportation throughout the county on the TCAT bus system. This will give students access to transportation that is flexible and fits hisor her personal schedule. Our goal is to increase the number of youth participating not only in the many school sponsored programs like sports, drama, clubs, tutoring programs, but also in many other activities that students engage in after school hours such as jobs, music lessons, and community service. The response from parents/caregivers and guardians was immediate and favorable. We have over 350 high school and middle school students now participating in the program. Many parents wrote notes of gratitude to us on their application (i.e. "Thank you for this opportunity!" "This is a great need. Thank you so much.") It reinforced our data that transportation was indeed a major obstacle for many working families. We expect to reach maximum participation of 500 students by Winter 2001. The majority of the participating youth are using public transportation for the first time. The cost of a 10 month student bus pass is normally $200, which is cost -prohibitive for many families. Based on the initial response and overwhelming need for this program, we renegotiated with Tompkins County Area Transist (TCAT) to extend the 10 month after school youth bus pas to a year-round bus pass. Our negotiated rate for 10 months had been subsidized at $30; we renegotiated the 12 month pass at a rate of $55. This will increase the opportunities for youth to participate in summer school and other summer youth enrichment activities. The immediate evaluation of the program will be found in the number of students using the TCAT bus passes. There will be a survey administered by the Community Drug Task Force to those issued passes, evaluating frequency of use and location of destinations. The more profound result from creating this transportation solution is that we will foster the growth of increasing numbers of afterschool programs and resources that support youth during out- of-school time. A+ Tutoring Program targeted for African American youth in Ithaca High School, `formerly known as theSteppin' Up Tutoring Program . This tutoring program is a partnership effort with a local community center called the Greater Ithaca Activities Center and.the Ithaca City School District. By offering this satellite program at the high school campus they are able to reach more of the African American students they are targeting. The program operates Monday - Thursday, 2:45 - 5:00 p.m. at Ithaca High School. Students study independently in small groups with tutors. There are eight tutors working with students on a regular basis. Approximately 28 students participate weekly. The students are expected to sign in when they arrive and begin their homework -or other educational activity. The program provides notebook paper, folders, index cards, graph paper, pens, pencils, calculators and any other school supplies needed to help students complete assignments. Textbooks for specific classes are readily available. Snacks are also provided. The tutors come from several areas of the community including: 1) Cornell University Work study program; 2) retired teachers and professors from the Durfee Tutoring Program at First Presbyterian Church; 3) IHS teachers and IHS Honor Society students. The program has been well received by the high school, which had no, tutoring program on site before this. The coordinator of the tutoring program met personally with all faculty members as well as all athletic team coaches, guidance counselors and social workers. In addition to referrals to the tutoring program by these key partners, many referrals have also come from the parents. It is still of concern that the school has no additional support mechanisms outside of the classroom to prepare students for the new NYS regents requirements. It is our hope that this program will assist students in preparing for these new demanding standards. The A+ Tutoring program will be evaluated through the numbers of students participating in the program and over time academic achievement and daily school attendance of those involved will be measured. Scholarships for High Risk Students that enable them to participate in enrichment activities after school such as arts, music and dance classes. High school students who take music lessons and join theater groups do better in math, reading, history, geography and citizenship, according to a study of Education Department data. The study, which tracked more than 25,000 students for more than 10 years, found that students who reported consistently high levels of involvement with instrumental music scored significantly higher on math tests by the 12th grade. This observation held true for students regardless of their parents' income, occupations and levels of education, said James S. Catterall, the lead author and an education professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. Research shows that harnessing energies and channeling the creativity of at risk youth is necessary for success in behavior modification and treatment. After several student focus groups in December 1999 and January 2000, we selected the following classes that were offered starting in February 2000: 1) Capoeira (a brazilian martial art form that includes dance, music and song.) 2) Break Dance Club 3) Crochet Club 4) Creative Writing. Instructors for these six week courses identified, places and times were set, flyers were created to promote, these courses. Students signed up for these courses through the Student Assistance Program -at the high school. In addition, at risk students used this scholarship program to attend fitness classes, music and dance classes atCity Health Club and the Community School of Music and Art. We had approximately 40 students participating. The Scholarship Program will be evaluated by the number of successful matches for youth in the area. It will serve as .the beginning of our long term effort to focus on after-school programming for teens, which is lacking in our area. Virtually every local human service agency serving youth has resources that could be better utilized through enhanced collaboration and partnerships. The Community Drug Task Force will serve as a catalyst in - our community to focus attention on this very important issue by creating new community partnerships and continuing to research other funding resources and and support for such programming. Prevention, Intervention and Education - The Community Drug Task Force through its partnership with the Mental Health Association will provide programs for the prevention, education and intervention of parents, youth and community organizations. The Mental Health Association is a not-for-profit agency that has been serving Tompkins County for over 45 years. They have formed an exciting new collaborative effort, working with the highly regarded Paul Scheurs Program at the Ithaca City Youth Bureau. This is a mentoring program designed to work one to one with extremely high risk youth on the edge. They are identified in middle school, and they work with the students through high school. They have an excellent record of keeping the students on a positive track through graduation. The Mental Health Association has identified a particular model of resiliency theory developed by Horacio Sanchez, of Resiliency, Inc. Sanchez has been running a very successful program for high risk youth in North Carolina for 15 years. The Mental Health Association has worked very closely with Sanchez to develop a curriculum training program, that they have named the Success Program for mentors. This Success Program will greatly enhance the services that the Paul Scheurs Program provides to youth and families. The curriculum will broaden their ability to understand in a holistic sense the problems that youth and families struggle with. They are currently in Phase I of the initiative, which includes hiring a Youth Development Program Leader for the the Success Program. This person's responsibilities will include recruiting, training and supervising volunteer mentors, conducting home visits with family and youth, and providing ongoing advocacy and support to youth and families. • They are in process of training nine new mentors in this curriculum - a total of 21 hours of training. The mentors will be working with middle school aged city and rural youth, primarily 6th-8th graders. They will link the mentors with 10 - 15 youth. Phase II, which starts in Fall 2000, will include actual assessment of youth and identifying their control group. An evaluation of the Success Program's neighborhood leader's project has been researched and written, with guidance from both Comell University's research and design department of the School of Ecology/Family Life Development Studies and Ithaca College Health Studies Department. Other mentoring programs sponsored by the Ithaca City Youth Bureau have approached the. Mental Health Association for training in these risk and resiliency methods. The intent is to enhance and complement the ongoing efforts of mentoring programs that are now occurring in Tompkins County, with the Paul Scheurs Program being the primary control group. Community Drug Task Force Minutes February 8, 2001 Present: Laurel Guy, Rosalie Fontana, Katrina Turek, Tim Marchell, Amy Rand, Cassandra Nelson, David Bulkley Report on the Youth Bus Pass Program The following is the breakdown of students for Winter/Spring 2001: 12th grade - 43 11th grade - 71 10th grade - 71 9th grade - 82. 8th grade- 58 7th grade- 51 6th grade- 60 Total # of students participating in this program: 427 More requests for bus passes are coming in. We will have 500 participants in the program by next month. Suggestions: ,There are many people of all ages who are intimidated by the prospect of etaking the bus.i TCAT should do an orientation for students and their families to promote ridership. Perhaps to offer field trips, after school trips. TCAT and the Community Drug Task Force could collaborate to create a special map of popular destinations that students would be interested in, which would also includethe bus routes. The map would be more user friendly than the current -map that shows all the routes. Report on GIAC' s A+ Tutoring Program Cassandra Nelson reported that there are 21 students regularly participating in the program. They are meeting in the library, which is a quieter space. There are regular tutors every week in certain subject areas. The tutors are work/study students from Cornell and IC, retired professors and Durfee tutors. There is a concern that there will be a shortage of tutors when the college students leave in early May. We will need extra help as the students will be preparing for their Regents exams.We talked about task force assisting in a public awareness push for tutors the first week in April. (Casey Stevens show on WHCU, Ithaca Journal feature on the program) We also suggested that Cassandra contact Kendall to help identify more retired.professors who might enjoy tutoring. Asset Building Campaign The Tompkins County Youth Bureau is moving ahead with their plans to implement the Search Institute Asset Building Campaign here in Tompkins County. Community Drug Task Force Steering Team March 8, 2001_ MINUTES Present: Rosalie Fontana, Amy Rand, Audrey Cooper, Lisa Kendall, Bill Rusen, David BulkleyMark Ashton, Laurel Guy, Nancy Zahler Discussion: Revisiting the Basic Priorities of the Community Drug Task Force. This was a very interesting and constructive meeting. It was spent looking over the mission statement, discussing the history and original intent of the Drug Task Force. We also looked over the Community Drug Task Force' s Final Report that was published in April, 1999 to revisit the recommendations made by those Action Teams and to see what progress has been achieved and what areas we need to refocus on. We were pleased to note that `i lny 'of the recommendations that were proposed in that original report have been implemented. .... ,From that discussion, the following suggestions and -ideas were made: • Mission Statement We are committed to forging an alliance between our schools, government and neighborhoods, and together developing strategies to reduce alcohol and other substance - . abuse in Ithaca and Tompkins County by: 1.) Involving families, schools, and the community in a constructive dialogue about alcohol and other substance abuse. 2) Developing initiatives designed to teach young people about the risks of using illegal drugs and abusing legal drugs, including alcohol and cigarettes, providing positive activities for youth. 3) Ensuring that people who need substance abuse treatment can get effective help when they need it. 4) Empowering citizen initiatives and actions, including encouraging further organization of neighborhood associations and neighborhood watch groups. . 5) Supporting enhanced enforcement of existing laws and passage of new legislation to combat drug abuse; and - 6) Working with area school districts and universities to develop and enforce campus -wide and district -wide substance policies. • Joining the County Youth Bureau's Asset Building Campaign We agreed that that Drug Task Force should make a commitment to the Asset Building ":Campaign that the County Youth Bureau is launching. That this campaign would in fact a way of fulfilling our greater mission to reach out to the larger community. Nancy Zahler . said that one idea that they are considering is constituting a new group that will include representatives from all the other county school districts as well as other community groups. A delegate from the Drug Task Force would be a member of that larger consortium. We have done a lot of work in this school district and in the city and we' ve learned a lot. This would be an opportunity to not only share that information with other districts but to learn from them as well. • A series of forums was proposed It was suggested that instead of constituting a new group - (or in conjunction with the new group) - that the County Youth Bureau could sponsor a series of forums that happen over time that will bring the group mentioned above together. This would allow a dialogue to occur with the other school districts and community groups in Tompkins County. • Utilizing the ICSD Drug Survey Results in a more effective way to focus our priorities It was suggested a vital role for this group would be to go back to the drug survey results and creating a more concise summary that extracts three or four core messages from the data. This will provide more strategic focus for setting our priorities: guidance in terms of behaviors that we should be concerned about and the types of approaches that we can advocate for that will address those behaviors. Nancy Zahler volunteered her very capable intern from Cornell to go over the results of the big report and create this summary for us. It was also suggested that the Drug Task Force might then become the primary vehicle for communicating these three or four core messages from the survey data to the public through presentations to the PTAs and Site -Based Councils as well as:through the media. To be the body that gets the information out to the public in a way that makes it not so overwhelming and to provide them with clues for practical action. • Getting a comprehensive picture of what drug education programs are currently being offered We need to know what's already being done in, very concrete terms.The Youth Education Action Teamattempted to inventory the drug education programs in ICSD" in the Final Report ofthe Community Drug Task Force. But it is not a complete list. What needs to be done is to go door to door, building to building, school by schoo discussion, and ask specific questions such as: Is every class getting this every day? Is it one of the.health teachers or all of the health teachers. One concern that was raised is that we don' t have an official standing. A suggestion was made that we could raise these questions at PTA meetings where building principals and health directors could respond. By collecting this detailed°information, we will be able to identify some real gaps and see what needs to be supplemented. One of the main recommendations in the Final Report is to improve the drug education in the district. To find out what is working and what is not working. Recent research suggests that D.A.R.E. does not work. We need t� look at these programs that we are offering, evaluate them, make recommendations about other programs, and lobby for change that is needed. The question is who should collect this data, who then maintains it and keeps it updated?We need to collect this data and then who maintains it, keeps it updated? It could possibly be the Substance Abuse SubCommittee of the Mental Health Committee. • Create a Strong Link with the Substance Abuse SubCommittee of the Mental Health Committee. These are the people we should talk to first about what' s going on in Tompkins County. Thefocus of the committee: What does the whole substance abuse care and education system look like in Tompkins County? They may not have the answers but the only way they' 11 get the answers is if you ask the question.They are the group that makes the recommendations about how the money is spent in Tompkins County and what the priorities are going to be We can go the this committee and give them this data that we have collected in our district. That we have these needs documented in this survey. We have an insufficient amount of this kind of education or intervention. This subcommittee is in the position to be the pipeline to OASAS funding and we want them to think about getting grants for these things. Time ran out on this meeting. We need to continue this discussion and create a true comprehensive plan that will focus our prioritiees in the long term. • Community Drug Task Force Steering Team August 9, 2001 MINUTES Present: Laurel Guy, Nancy Zahler, Chuck Bartosch, Bill Rusen Tim Marchell Discussion: Adding Survey Questions to Bus Pass Application We discussed the need to collect data from parents of students who have been utilizing the. TCAT bus pass program so that we can understand how the pass is being used and also if it is indeed making a positive difference. The following list,of questions resulted and were included in the most recent bus pass application. The data collected will be then be analyzed and reported at a future meeting. • •1. Did the Youth Bus Pass make a positive difference in your child's life? 2. Did it lead themt o try different activities that might noght have been available to them? If -.s. so, what were they? 3. Did you notice whether this has resulted in any positive change in their behavior? 4. Approximately how many times a week did your child use the bus pass? - For what purposes? Please check the appropriate line) _After school programs (sports, clubs, theatre, music, etc.) • _Tutoring Job _Library , _Art, Music, Dance lessons _Other (please specify) 5. Have you (parent) or another sibling ridden TCAT at your own expense? 6. Have you purchased the TCAT Summer Pass before at your own expense? - 7. Would you be willing or able to purchase this Youth Bus Pass if it were at a subsidized rate? . ;.! 8. Is there anything else we might do to help with transportation (or other things) that would : encourage your child to participate in positive after school activities? . i. . . Chuck Bartosch gave a brief update on the school district's budget woes. The district is under intense financial pressure and that if the school board does not find a solution there - _ -could be massive layoffs even as soon as the middle of the school year. We asked him about who will be taking on Katrina's role. He replied that someone at the Assistant Director would be hired as a short-term solution. He felt that this would work for a year, but would not be tenable as a long-term solution. He is also concerned because there are members of the school board who are attacking the necessity of continuing the Drug Survey. The AIDP Grant (Attendance Improvement and Drop Out Prevention) funding that pays for this survey may not be available, and it may be difficult to find other funding to pay for it. We discussed possible solutions and how the Drug Task Force might be able to ensure that this survey continues this year. This discussion will continue next month.

This federal grant program is funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, which operates under the auspices of the United States Department of Justice.:We are in Year 3 of this grant, and are eligible to apply for Year 4 funding, but there is no guarantee that we will receive it!) • Social Norms campaign at Ithaca High School, targeted towards teens. Among young people there is a perception that there is much more negative behavior. The research shows that this incorrect perception of the norm tends to increase the negative behavior. The concept of a Social Norms Marketing Campaign is to give students the correct information about the true norm through a media campaign. A survey of 270 IHS was conducted in May, 2000 and colorful posters and table tents based on that data were designed and distributed at IHS. A follow up survey will be done Fall 2002, with a fresh media campaign. • A community based Public Awareness and Education Campaign targeting parents, caregivers, guardians and adults working with youth, focusing on parents of ICSD students, grades 6-12. It involves print, radio and television, the internet. Our media campaign's focus or `hook' is having local parents (i.e. real people) talking about the the core messages of Love, Trust, Truth, Honesty, and Communication, developed by the national Anti -Drug Campaign. Because we did not have this campaign developed when we first received this grant, we received permission to rollover funds. • Transportation - Youth Bus Passes - on public transit to allow 500 students, grades 6-12, to participate in healthy, positive after school activities.Research has shown that after-school hours, and the summer, are the times when our children are most at risk. The single largest obstacle for youth to participate in after school or summer programs, or local youth programs is the lack of transportation. These youth bus passes allow transportation throughout the county on the TCAT bus system. Our goal is to increase the number of youth participating not only in the many school sponsored programs like sports, drama, clubs, tutoring programs, but also in many other activities that your children engage in after school hours such as jobs, music lessons, and community service. ' • A+ Tutoring Program targeted for African American youth in Ithaca High School. This T„{1 after school tutoring program is a partnership between GIAC (Greater Ithaca Activities Center to and the Ithaca City School District. By offering this satellite program at the high school campus they are able to reach more students. The program operates Monday - Thursday, 2:45 - 5:00 p.m. at Ithaca High School. Students study independently in small groups with tutors. There are eight tutors working with students on a regular basis. Approximately 35-40 students participate weekly. • Scholarships for High Risk Students that enable them to participate in enrichment activities after school The Community Drug Task Force is collaborated with the Community School of Music and Arts to offer more after school opportunities in the arts to students who might not ordinarily be able to participate. We also gave mini -grants to the IHS Step Squad and IHS Circle of Recovery groups. Prevention, Intervention and Education - The Mental Health Association developed a curriculum based on the Horacio Sanchez model, and formed a collaborative effort, working with the Paul Scheurs Memorial Program at the Ithaca City Youth Bureau. This is a mentoring program working with high risk youth, grades 6-12. Community Drug Task Force Steering TeamMembers *Voting members are noted with an asterisk. *Alan Cohen Mayor of Ithaca 108 E.

Office of the Mayor From: Michelle T. A Community Drug Task Force' "MAYOR'S OFFICE • [A9 ODZ OF ITHACA' Date: 28 May 2002 Re: Request for Proposal/Project Overview/Project Approval Application/Bus Survey/Contract for Services/Drug Survey Analysis As a follow-up to our meeting last week, outlined are the projects that we discussed: 1. Request for Proposal: create or revise an RFP which will be suitable to submit to future contract programs who seek funding from the Community Drug Task Force [CDTF}. 2. Project Overview - create or revise a project overview form which would serve as a pre - application for funding to the CDTF Board. Include information as request for funding, matching funds involved, start and end date of program and evaluation criteria. 1 page in length. 3. Project Approval Application - create or revise a project approval application which would be an extension of the Project overview form for projects which will receive 'consideration for funding' by the CDTF Board. The application should be no more than 2-3 pages. 4. Contract for services - I was able to obtain a copy from the Comptrollers' office and will revise this myself. 5. Bus Survey & Cover Letter - After thinking about it, I would prefer that we send a form cover letter and 81/2-11 survey instead of a postcard. I believe that the survey would be more comprehensive and perhaps render better results with using this method. Please set up a system [on diskette] with a spreadsheet that has these titles student/parents names, address, application received, survey received, bus pass mailed and any other relevant tracking information in anticipation of returned surveys. Please have a draft of the survey and cover letter by Friday/31 May. The ledger can be completed by June 4/Tuesday. I found out that the dates of the Summer Fun Pass usage are Friday/June 28 to Wednesday/September. 6. Drug SurveyAnalysis - Alan will be preparing a 'State of Youth Drug Use' paper at the end of the Summer. Alan would like you to obtain the results from the National Youth Drug Survey and the First Social Norms Survey which were used at the Ithaca High School. He would like analysis completed which discusses the trends in drug use and other 'positive' features that the surveys may have revealed. The analysis of the survey data can be obtained from Ms. Debi Albanese, Deputy Superintendant, Ithaca School District at 274-0715. Please prepare a project research scope for Karen and myself which will ultimately be reviewed by Alan before seeking any information from Debi. I will talk with you more about this in our meeting on Friday. As agreed, we will be meeting at 11:30am on Friday/31 May to review the draft forms and discuss your recommendations. Thank you, once again, for your enthusiastic assistance to both the Community Drug Task Force and myself. cc: men L� Comm], Dikj`ctst( � 562894 Budget Center #: If I 'jL Master #: PO #: SEND ORDER TO: Staples Business Advantage Customer Service 877-285-8852 FAX: 877-285-8850 City of Ithaca (NYS) The Following Address Information Must be Completed:(Originator Name and Phone is Required) Company Name CITY OF ITHACA CITY HALL Street Address 108 E GREEN ST City IT ACA State NY Zip + 4 14850 Originator Name :nn ( _AL ki� ICL r Phone # (05)-1..7) 1i -/j Date yi 3 b/ b Department: Room #: yb� PAGE OF Staples Use Only: Initials Order # Item # Qty UM Description Price Page 46 2113 1 MtitWh rtov 1) i,vtaers 13 3s 38 ( f 1 I'�4 4 ( 311 Ida kik, LS. b t 8'1 2 3r s m e( ID ,,tect,v Ldtirzi 4— s Lvt, J 4-1'G I,•sdl 19 3 q 1329 I - A-dcixtss L etbeU 3 ?,7a 400 -'40i \------,______7_ (f yi-y 1-6 atasyfri,LA- i. 0 / - s--zixr 1 f Staples Use Only: Initials Order # _ _7 CONTRACT FOR SERVICES Made this day of between: The CITY OF ITHACA, a municipal corporation with offices at 108 East Green Street, Ithaca, New York, hereinafter called the "City", And hereinafter called the "Contractor" WITNESSETH: �, ...

State Street Ithaca, New York 14850 Phone: 607-274-5310 Fax: 607-274-5313 Email: Nzahler@toinpkins-co.org TO: Patrick Dunkhorst FROM: Community Drug Task Force Board Nancy Zahler, Acting Coordinator DATE: December 11, 2002 RE: Corrective Action Plan In response to your memo of October 17, 2002 outlining the status of our Drug Free Communities Grant, the Drug Task Force Board has prepared the followed plan to respond to OJJDP's requirements and recommendations. It updates and supercedes the draft sent to you on November 18, 2002. During your site visit in August, members of the Drug Task Force Board learned more about our responsibilities. Since then, we have taken the following steps to provide leadership and compliance with the grant's requirements. 1. The core members of the Task Force Board initiated a meeting on September 13th with Mayor Alan Cohen to update all voting members of the Task Force Board, as established in March 2002. The minutes of that meeting are attached and include the following decisions: • The Task Force Board would become responsible for selecting the next coordinator for the project. The Mayor indicated his willingness to appoint any qualified candidate recommended to fill the City's position. The Mayor solicited input from the Board on the qualities to include in a job notice to be posted by the City. • Although the City position is supervised by the Mayor, he agreed to have Task Force Board leaders provide substantive oversight of the new coordinator. • The Mayor also agreed to continue to make payments on any approved grant expenses that would be reimbursable while the project was coming into compliance. He indicated that he had contacted the direct service providers to advise them of their on-going funding and that he had contacted the Community School of Music and Art that funding for the Steel Drum Band was not authorized at this time. • The Board elected Debi Albanese from the Ithaca School District and Nancy Zahler from the Tompkins County Youth Bureau as co-chairs of the Task Force to serve for the period of time that it took to bring the project back into compliance. • To assure that work would continue as quickly as possible, the Board committed to meeting twice a month. (1St Wed 4:-5:30 and 3rd Monday 5-6:30) • Task Force members brainstormed possible new members to fill the required vacancies and agreed to make contacts before the next meeting. • Debi Albanese updated the Board on plans to move ahead with an updated Social Norms survey requested by principals and with the assistance of consultant Allen Berkowitz. • At the September 13th meeting the Tompkins County Youth Bureau submitted the attached concept paper offering the expertise of its department to fulfill the responsibilities of the coordinator on a contracted basis. 2. After the September 13th meeting, Debi Albanese contacted Patrick to get clarification on a number of issues including membership and whether it would be allowable if the Task Force chose to contract with the Youth Bureau, with Nancy designated as the coordinator and delegating responsibilities to her staff. Copies of her emails and Patrick's response are attached. 3. At the October 7th meeting of the Task Force Board, the Board reviewed a plan developed by the County Youth Bureau to begin corrective action while awaiting the official correspondence from OJJDP. (See attached). The Board voted to authorize Debi Albanese and Nancy Zahler to find an acceptable coordinator to tackle the compliance requirements and assist in the implementation of the current grant. Their direction was to begin by inviting Dr. Michelle Thompson, who had served as the interim coordinator, to return to the project. If she was unwilling or unable to serve, the Board wanted the Tompkins County Youth Bureau to assume the role of coordinator, based on OJJDP's willingness to approve such an amendment and with the stipulation that as the Coordinator, Nancy Zahler would resign as a voting member of the Board to remove any conflict of interest. (See attached minutes) 4. On 10/21 Debi Albanese updated the Board on its intention to advertise the availability of bus passes to Ithaca City School District students in grades 6-12. Audrey Cooper from Cooperative Extension volunteered to help prepare the 6,000 piece mailing which would direct parents to return their applications to the Tompkins County Youth Bureau. 5. On November 6th, Nancy reported that Michelle Thompson declined the position and that, per Board approvals on 10/21, the County Youth Bureau would assume the administrative responsibilities with Nancy as the Acting Coordinator. Nancy offered her resignation from the Board effective November 7th. A sub -committee of the Board agreed to assist in reviewing and updating the budget. Nancy prepared the attached report to update the Board on progress since the last meeting. 6. On 11/6 the Board also decided that they did not need to review each of the 500 applications for bus passes as long as students intended to use the passes for afterschool activities as outline in the grant. Since the proposed budget for 02-03 submitted by Mayor Cohen included less money for bus passes than spent in 2001-02, the Board voted to proceed with the purchase of up to 500 passes, as indicated in the letter to families, and to assure that any unused passes could be refunded. A decision regarding summer bus passes was deferred until a fuller review of the overall budget could be made by the full Task Force Board. Summary of corrective actions taken to date: 1. Coordinator selected. On 11/6 the Task Force Board confirmed its selection Nancy Zahler as the Drug -Free Coordinator, contingent upon approval of the current budget and amendments to transfer funds from Personnel, Fringe Benefits, operating supplies and travel from their current budget lines into the contractual category to enable the Tompkins County Youth Bureau to perform the functions of the coordinator. (The Youth Bureau has begun work in good faith while it prepares a contract with the City of Ithaca.) 2. Task Force roles and leadership. The City of Ithaca continues to be the fiduciary agent for the grant and the Mayor is a voting member of the Task Force Board. The Ithaca School District continues its commitment as a co -leader of the grant by assigning Debi Albanese as an active member on the Task Force Board. Debi is currently serving as the Chair of the Board. Task Force Board members now make all policy decisions. 3. The role of the Mental Health Association was clarified at a Task Force Board meeting on December 4th. Beth Jenkins, Executive Director of MHA will become an active Board member but will no longer function as the "3rd pillar" of the Coalition. 4. Coalition Membership. Several new members have been identified. See the attached roster. 5. Update budget worksheets. Budget worksheets were revised by Alan Cohen on 11/27/02. 6. Implementation of grant services. Several components of the current grant are being implemented as planned: • Bus passes will be distributed by 12/12/02. Theresa Albert, Administrative Assistant of the County Youth Bureau has created a database of all recipients and entered the answers to questions from the 500+ applications received so far. TCAT public transit has ordered the bus passes and will be encoding 500 by 12/10. TCAT has agreed to refund the cost of any passes not distributed and to our request to pro -rate the cost of the passes from $30.00/pass to $20.00/pass for 6.5 months of use. • The social norms survey has been updated for distribution at Ithaca Schools. Debi Albanese is responsible for having surveys administered through building principals and will do so once the scoring procedure is finalized.
