A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA INSTRUCTING THE AZUSA POLICE DEPARTMENT
TO WORK WITH THE AZUSA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
TO DEVELOP A DRUG PREVENTION PROGRAM
Whereas, research studies show that the use of drugs and
alcohol by school -aged children is epidemic in our schools and
communities; and
Whereas, the effects of drug and alcohol abuse are
devastating to young people's lives and their futures, to their
families, to society, and to the educational environment; and
Whereas, schools are an appropriate place to educate youth
about the harmful effects of drug and alcohol abuse and to assist
them in learning positive ways to make healthy choices in their
lives; and
Whereas, the schools cannot be expected to shoulder this
burden alone because the future of the entire community, indeed
of our democracy, depends upon having an educated citizenry able
to make ethical and moral choices; and
Whereas, schools should provide a safe haven for students so
that our youth can be safe, and learn effectively;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT:
At the request of our Police Chief, the Azusa City Council
applauds the determination of school districts to make drug and
alcohol abuse prevention a highest priority for the 1986-87
school year and beyond, and hereby instructed the Police
Department to work with our community's schools to develop a plan
of action that will make school campuses safe havens from drugs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA will lend its support to help foster the cooperative
relationships among teachers, parents, students, law enforcement
and other community agencies necessary to accomplish this goal.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 6th day of October, 1986.
