Early and persistent anti-social behavior was identified as a priority risk factor in Hawai'i County. The community delinquency prevention program was offered to each school complex and Honoka'a and Waiakea Elementary Schools have agreed to participate in the Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS) curriculum. The PATHS curriculum facilitates development of self-control, emotional awareness and interpersonal problem-solving skills and reduces aggression and behavior problems. Enclosed are two (2) resolutions; one authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with Honoka'a Elementary School and the other authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with Waiakea Elementary School, for their participation in the PATHS curriculum. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney. "Tak Will a Director of Finance APPRO~V~E^D:: G)2V d Harry Kim Mayor Comm. No. (00 Enc. Ref.
