JAMES M. O’ROURKE, Executive Director, Judicial Advisory Council

 

The U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), recently authorized a grant of $748,350.00 to Cook County for juvenile drug abuse programs.  This grant is an earmarked appropriation from Congress and was included in OJJDP’s budget for award to the County.  The application for these funds was submitted to the U.S. Department of Justice on August 17, 2001, before the implementation of the grant pre-application approval process.

GRANT AWARDS continued

ITEM #13 cont’d

 

We propose that these grant funds be used to replicate Life Skills Training (LST), a juvenile drug prevention program that has been evaluated and has demonstrated significant deterrent effects over a sustained period of time.  LST is an exemplary violence prevention program that numerous evaluations conducted over a 15-year period show cuts tobacco, alcohol and marijuana use 50 to 75% among young people.  LST is a three-year school-based intervention program to prevent gateway drug abuse.  We propose implementing it in targeted Cook County schools and school districts.

 

LST has been recognized as an exemplary program by the American Medical Association, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the National Centers for Disease Control, the American Psychological Association, the White House Office on Drug Policy, the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education.

 

To implement the LST program in a timely manner in accordance with federal requirements, we request permission to enter into contracts with the following entities:

 

(1)            Biopatterns Center for Health, a Chicago-based organization that provides program development, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and research services to government agencies and healthcare organizations.  Under this one-year contract, Biopatterns will serve as Life Skills Training project coordinator reporting directly to the Cook County Judicial Advisory Council.  They will be responsible for overall project management, managing subcontractors, establishing partnerships with interested schools, facilitating teacher training, oversight of school implementation of LST curriculum and project assessment.  One-year contract for $97,920.00.

 

(2)            National Health Promotion Associates (NHPA), a health consulting, research and development firm established by Dr. Gilbert Botvin, the developer of the Life Skills Training program in 1985.  Dr. Botvin, a prevention scientist at Cornell University Medical College, established NHPA to provide training and technical assistance to school sites implementing the LST program.  They provide technical assistance to sites who are implementing the LST program, train teachers to conduct the program, and train trainers to continue the program locally.  Three-year contract not to exceed $175,000.00.

 

(3)            Princeton Health Press, Inc. publishes the Life Skills Training material including teacher manuals, student guides and relaxation tapes.  They are the only source for the Life Skills Training material.  Three year contract not to exceed $112,000.00.

 

We respectfully request permission to accept these funds and to contract with the above organizations to provide management, technical assistance and training to implement the LST program in a timely manner and in accordance with federal regulations.

Jefferson Alternative School.

 

Reason:	Statistical research indicates that there is a direct correlation between illiteracy and juvenile delinquency.  Scholastic, Inc., the world’s largest publisher of children’s books, has developed an innovative reading program, READ 180, to support school districts in their efforts to improve reading achievement for students who read below grade level in upper elementary and middle grades.  Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, created and developed the READ 180 prototype, which has proven successful for more 10,000 students since its initial implementation during the 1994-1995 school year in Orange County, Florida.
	Program costs include a one-time fee for products and software; initial in-service implementation and training for Nancy B. Jefferson teaching staff and JTDC staff; and instructional materials for 480 students or 40 classrooms.  Scholastic, Inc. will provide at no additional cost one high school stage of READ 180 and over 400 library books that correspond to the READ 180 program.
	Nancy B. Jefferson School/Chicago Public Schools has agreed to fund two new full-time teachers to facilitate and implement the READ 180 program during and after school hours; to pay the costs associated with replacing trade books as necessary and the cost of expanding the program to 40 classroom teachers; and to dedicate a full-time network server to run the READ 180 software program.   This system is used at other Chicago Public School locations, and has proven to be very successful in improving student’s reading scores.

 

Estimated Fiscal Impact:  None.  Grant funded amount:  $231,098.00.  One time purchase.  (768-579 Account).
