MTG.-11/12/86 SAN DIEGO GRAND JURY CITY ATTY��
FINAL REPORT 1985-86 RECOMMENDATIONS
DEPT. CM CITY MGR.., Leo,
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Support the Grand Jury proposal to urge state legislation
mandating drug abuse prevention education in the public
schools.
BACKGROUND
The 1985-86 Final Report of the San Diego Grand Jury makes
the following recommendations:
#86/15: That the Board of Supervisors and the city
councils of the sixteen cities in San Diego County
urge the introduction and passage in the state
legislature of an amendment to the California
Education Code, mandating comprehensive K-12 drug
abuse prevention education in the public schools.
This mandate should be accompanied by a substantial
incentive funding component, making it possible for
districts to begin such programs, or expand existing
ones.
The Penal Code Section 933 requires responses to be made by
the responsible agencies to any Grand Jury recommendations
within 90 days. The City of Carlsbad's Police Department
is concerned about drug abuse in Carlsbad and believe that
a mandatory education program would be effective in reducing
drug usage. Many crimes committed in this city are drug
related and if drug usage were reduced, we believe the
crime rate in Carlsbad would be reduced.
It is recommended that the City Council endorse the Grand
Jury proposal and authorize the Mayor to send a letter to
the Grand Jury supporting this recommendation.
