WPCNR County Clarion-Ledger. From Westchester County Department of Communications. (EDITED) December 12, 2003:Close to 300 people attended Thursday’s conference on underage drinking – students, parents and principals representing 39 Westchester public and private high schools, and police officers from 33 Westchester Departments.
They were called together by Westchester County Executive Andy Spano, who wanted to gain input from them on three preliminary proposals made by Spano as well as to offer ideas of their own. The event took place at the Westchester County Center. “I was so impressed with the discussion I heard at all levels,” said Spano. “These groups had different thoughts on some of my proposals, but had a real interest in finding ways to deal with the problem. If there was a common thread, it was a belief that programs that educate teens and pre-teens about the perils of drinking – particularly those that are peer-to-peer – can be very effective. Also, that parents must be held accountable.” As a follow up to the conference, participants will receive a list of “best practices” that are being implemented in schools and communities throughout Westchester. Hearing what works in other areas will help communities shape dynamic and effective programs for themselves. |
