Safe
And Drug-Free Schools
The Safe and Drug-Free Schools
and Communities Act (SDFSCA) program is the Federal
Government’s primary vehicle for reducing violence, alcohol
and other drugs use through supporting education, prevention
and intervention activities in our Nation’s schools.
SDFSCA program resources are
used to support student academic achievement through
programming that:
- prevents violence,
illegal use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs in and
around schools
- involves parents and
communities
- coordinates
programming with related federal, state, school, and
community efforts
The Virginia Department of
Education (VDOE) administers SDFSCA resources, brokers
information and provides technical assistance to school
divisions. This Web site is intended to provide
information to assist school divisions in this effort.

Safe and Drug-Free School
Program Efforts 2006-07
"What we do in the
name of health, safety, and well-being is linked with teaching and
learning. Teaching
and learning can’t take
place if students aren’t healthy, aren’t physically and mentally fit, aren’t
safe” or aren’t present during
school hours. William
Modzeleski, Director,
Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools
