<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION (ATTACHMENT) <br /> August 21, 2006 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> PUBLIC PROGRAMS <br /> List of anticipated programs <br /> <br /> 1. The Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco (DAT) Awareness Program <br /> The Big Island Interscholastic Federation (BIIF) is comprised of 17 private and <br /> public high schools. In collaboration with the Department of Liquor Control and <br /> the Hawai'i County Project PAU Advisory Council, the athletic directors of the <br /> BIIF are planning a second DAT (DAT 2) awareness program in November <br /> 2006. <br /> <br /> Based on a similar program in the Oahu Interscholastic Association, the <br /> DAT program is comprised of a leadership workshop for student-athlete leaders <br /> who commit to conduct teach-ins in their feeder schools. The Reach Out Now <br /> curriculum, developed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services <br /> Administration, is used in these teach-ins. The athletic directors and students <br /> are responsible to select which schools they will conduct teach-ins. The goals of <br /> this program are: <br /> • To acknowledge and encourage the use of the student-athletes' <br /> leadership positions and the opportunity of athletics to convey a <br /> positive message to youths; and <br /> <br /> • To encourage the modeling/mentoring by student-athletes in <br /> prevention efforts related to use of drugs, alcohol and tobacco. <br /> <br /> The Department of Liquor Control will provide funding for this workshop. <br /> <br /> II.
