This bill establishes a new grant program to foster school-community partnerships focused on preventing substance use and misuse among young people. The program authorizes the Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy to award grants to eligible entities , which are defined as Drug-Free Communities funded coalitions that have a memorandum of understanding with at least one local school. These grants are intended to support the implementation of effective drug prevention programs tailored to the specific needs of the student population and the surrounding community. Initial grants can be awarded, with the possibility of renewal grants for up to three additional fiscal years, each not exceeding $75,000 annually . Funds must be used to supplement, not replace, existing prevention resources. Applicants must submit a detailed plan outlining how the school-community partnership will implement these prevention programs. The bill authorizes an appropriation of $7,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2026 through 2031 to carry out this grant program.
