This legislation establishes a grant program to foster school-community partnerships aimed at preventing substance use and misuse among youth. The Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy is authorized to award these grants to eligible entities, which are specifically defined as Drug-Free Communities funded coalitions that have an existing memorandum of understanding with at least one local school to form a partnership. These partnerships are tasked with implementing effective drug prevention programs , which are tailored strategies and activities designed to meet the specific needs of the student population and community. Grants can be awarded initially and renewed for up to three additional fiscal years, with a maximum award of $75,000 per fiscal year per partnership, ensuring sustained support for these collaborative efforts. Funds received must be used to implement a detailed plan for drug prevention and to supplement, not supplant, existing drug prevention resources in local schools. The bill authorizes an appropriation of $7,000,000 annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2031 to fund these grants, with a small percentage allocated for administrative expenses, thereby strengthening local efforts in combating youth substance abuse through collaborative school and community programs.
