Grant Money to Buy Anti-Drug School Aids
Three-fourths of a $100,000 grant from the Ralph M. Parsons Foundation has been given to the Los Angeles Police Department’s Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program to buy teaching materials for elementary schools.
The money will be used to purchase a van and student notebooks and to develop and distribute a supplemental activity notebook for students in kindergarten through the fourth grade, a police department spokesman said. The remaining $25,000 of the grant will be used to help pay for an anti-drug promotional campaign.
