RE: Appointment of Advisory Task Force to
Submit Grant for the Intervention/Prevention Program
DATE: April 21, 1994
The Orange County Schools and the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools
intend to submit a joint proposal to apply for a portion of the $12,000,000 which
was recently appropriated by the North Carolina General Assembly for the
Intervention/Prevention Program, The legislation allows for up to three school
districts to submit a joint proposal for funding to support one or more of the
followin models; (1) school-based resource model; (2) after-school program
mode,; F3) Communitles in Schools model; (4) alternative learning program
model; and (5) safe schools program model (conflict resolution and peer
mediation).
The legislation requires applicants to "consult with a local task force
appointed by the county board of commissioners and comprised of educators,
Parents, students, community leaders, and representatives of the juvenile
justice system, human services, and nongovernmental agencies providing
services to children. To the extent possible, the task force shall be
representative of the racial and socioeconomic composition of the geographic
area to be served by the grant."
We are requesting that the County Commissioners appoint the present
Communmes in Schools Board of Directors to serve as the local task force and
add the following twelve members in order to provide the required
representation: two parents, two teachers, and two students from each of the
school districts. A membership list of the CIS Board of Directors is attached and

the names of the parent, teacher, and student representatives will be provided
by May 2 when the Commissioners will meet to act on this proposal.
Proposals must be submitted to the State Department of Public
Instn,ction by June 1, 1994 for funds to be available by July 15 or by July 1,
1994 to receive funding by October 15. Consequently, we are under a very tight
timeline for the development of the proposal, especially since it must be
approved by both Boards of Education. Appointment of the CIS Board to make
up the core of the local task force will allow us to move ahead expeditiously.
On April 21, 1994, school district representatives made this proposal to
the CIS Executive Committee and received its full endorsement.
A copy of the legislation is attached for your information. We would
appreciate your placing this item on the Commissioners' agenda for their May 2,
1994 meeting so that we can meet the deadlines for submission of a proposal.

10 SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAM GRANTS
11 Sec. 42. (a) The General Assembly finds that:
12 (1) Growing numbers of children live in conditions that place them at
13 risk of school failure;
14 (2) The provision of school and support services to these children and
15 their families by, public and nonprofit agencies is fragmented and
16 does not prepare these children to learn effectively and have a
17 successful school experience;
18 (3) The lack of collaboration among schools, families, local agencies,
19 and other groups involved in family support and youth
20 development activities results in the inefficient and ineffective use
21 of resources to meet the needs of these children;
22 (4) Schools are dedicating an increasing amount of their time and
23 resources to responding to disruptive and violent behavior rather
24 than fulfilling their mission to challenge with high expectations
25 each child to learn, to achieve, and to fulfill his or her potential;
26 (5) The relationships between school failure, disruptive and violent
27 behavior in schools, unemployment, and criminal behavior are
28 clear;
29 (6) Responding to the needs of students who are at risk of school
30 failure and providing for a safe and secure learning environment
31 are cost-effective because it enables the State to substitute
32 preventive measures for expensive crisis interv-ention; and
33 (7) Differing .local needs and local resources necessitate the
34 development of locally generated, community-based plans that
35 coordinate and leverage existing resources, not the imposition of
36 uniform and infle dble, State-mandated plans;
37 therefore, of the funds appropriated to Aid to Local School Administrative Units by
38 this act, the sum-of twelve aulliot► dollars (512,000,000) shall be used for the 1994-95
39 fiscal year to implement the Intervention/Frevention Grant Program for North
40 Carolina School Children.
41 (b) Article 16 of Chapter 115C of the General Statutes is amended by
42 adding a new Part to read:
