Program Description
The Safe and Drug Free Schools Program (Title IV) is the federal government's primary vehicle for
reducing violence and the use of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco through education and prevention activities
in schools. Initiatives are supported which promote school environments that are free from drugs and
violence and the unauthorized presence of firearms and alcohol, and offer a disciplined environment conducive to learning.
The programs must be research-based and proven to be effective or show promise of being effective.
