Take stock of your school or district's strengths and needs in how you prevent and respond to substance use violations and vaping at school. 

Let's Connect!

Who is this for?

Schools and School Districts that are:

• Struggling with vaping on campus;
• Looking to learn more about effective alternatives to suspension for substance use;
• Interested in reviewing when to use suspensions for substance use violations;
• Curious about how or whether to involve Law Enforcement in substance use violations;
• Hoping to gain clarity on their procedures and practices for preventing and responding to substance use. 

The Substance Use Best Practice Audit is a good fit for schools and school districts with limited capacity that are interested in learning if they are doing all they can to prevent and respond to substance use on campus - with the resources they have - in a research-informed way. 

How much time does this take from Administrators?

• Initial meeting to review plan and ensure fit for project: 45 minutes
• Send 5 question surveys to stakeholders and communicate with consultant via email regarding survey response needs: <1 hour
• Complete Administrator Survey: 15 minutes
• Attend at least 2 virtual meetings with consultant to review feedback and recommendations: 2 hours.

Total minimum required time: 4 hours
​Project completed in as little as 3 months* (*as long as surveys all go out on time). Additional time for technical assistance, training, and meet facilitation support available for schools.

​What's the process?

Phase One
​

Substance Use Discipline Practice Assessment
​Estimated Time to Complete Intake and Phase One: 4-6 weeks.

• Administrators complete a brief survey on their current practices for responding to substance use.
• Staff and parents are invited to complete a very brief, 5 question survey on their beliefs about substance use discipline practices. ​​

Phase Two
​

Facilitated Feedback & Reflection Sessions

• You receive an initial personalized feedback report with strengths and needs in areas of best practices for substance use discipline response and prevention, including: discipline policy and procedures, alternative to suspension intervention capacity,  support for punitive discipline practices among staff and community, readiness for supportive discipline practices, review of athletic code (optional), and best-practice proactive strategies to communicate and enforce substance use-free campus expectations.​
• Virtual meeting with the consultant and your Administrative leadership team to review and reflect on feedback and learn more about best practices.​
• Menu of Recommendations outlining priority areas of substance use discipline procedure and practice change that is responsive to your school district's unique needs and capacity. ​
• Additional meeting facilitation, training, and technical assistance is available to support schools as desired. 
  
• Note: This project is intended to be a low-burden project for schools with limited capacity, but also provides schools who wish to access additional training, support, and technical assistance with the opportunity for that. ​
