DARE AND OTHER PUBLIC SAFETY CUTS RAISE NEW QUESTIONS
The Sheriff's Department may have to switch to smaller squad cars and give
them more miles By Jeff Decker News-Chronicle Times have been tougher, but
Brown County gets a little closer to those times with every proposed new
cut in the budget. The proposed halving of the county's DARE program - Drug
Abuse Resistance Education - is not sitting well with educators.
"Our DARE officer eats lunch with the kids, goes out to recess," said Nancy
Schultz, principal of Webster Elementary school, 2101 S. Webster Ave.,
Allouez. "They look forward to attending the sessions."
With the Public Safety Committee's recommendation to cut $140,000, half of
the DARE budget, Schultz said she isn't sure if her students will be able
to make the right decisions for their futures.
