r " ..-------- Police chief supports DARE t (Continued from page 1) QUALITY CERTIF|En PRE-OWNED VEHICLF* Jamie Smith · Special to the Oakville Beaver Inviting everyone to join the OTMH Classic Run 2002 are Ford Vice-President John Jelinek (bottom left), Aleta Mayer, o f the OTMH Charitable Foundation (bottom right), Oak-Land Ford's David and Len Sanci, (left and centre), and OTMH Classic Run 2002 chair Bob March (right) at Oak-Land Ford. Halton police Sgt. Joe Prasad, co-ordinator of the program, said he also isn't sure what will happen next now that they are about to lose $80,000 in public school board money. "Obviously, we're disap pointed and we'll have to see where we go from here. We are at the crossroads with this knowledge. The chief strong ly believes we need officers in the schools as a proactive stance. "Every Grade 6 child in the public and Catholic boards in Halton is exposed to it." Prasad said the program costs half a million dollars to run annually. The DARE Halton fundraising committee generates much of the fund ing, while the Halton Catholic District School Board donat ed about $75,000 this year, he said. Halton police service cov ers about 40 per cent of DARE's costs. "We have a specific fundraising committee. We'll have to visit large corpora tions and ask for help," Prasad said of a probable initial plan of action. One piece of good news for DARE is that the Catholic board has no immediate inten tion of altering its funding commitment. "We were aware that the (public) board was consider ing reducing its support for this program, " said Catholic board business superintendent Joe Birett. "Although we dis cussed the merits of doing that, we didn't feel that was an appropriate thing to do until we knew what the funding was and what the total balance was on the budget." The Catholic school board's budget has yet to be approved. The DARE program `grad uates' about 5,000 students each year, said Prasad. A police officer comes into a Grade 6 class for one hour per week for 16 weeks. Pupils have to write an essay along the way. A `graduating' cere mony attended by parents and senior police officials is held at the end of the program. The board is in the midst of tense budget deliberations and expects to have trouble staying within its means, so it has identified areas where savings can be made.
