We retain the services of drug and alcohol specialists. The role of the intervention specialist is to provide counseling, information, training and professional recommendations to students, parents and staff. These individuals offer an expertise in working with a variety of youth and family services.
We also have a substance abuse advisory committee comprised of staff, parents, community and agencies. They meet every third Wednesday of the month at 7 a.m. in the RSC. Interested parties are welcome to attend. Currently the curriculum "Here's Looking at You 2000" is offered in the district. Elementary schools offer the Drug Alcohol Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) Program provided through an agreement with the Snohomish Police Department and Snohomish County Sheriff’s Department.
The district provides information, education and assistance related to drug and alcohol issues through the Community and Pupil Services Office, 360-563-7308. SNODAC (Snohomish Drug and Alcohol Committee) is a community volunteer group working with the district in sponsoring and developing programs to deal with the problems of drug and alcohol abuse.
