Joseph A. Santoro, MS Biography |
| Title: |
City of Glendora, CA Council Member |
| Position: |
Pro to the question "Is the D.A.R.E. Program Good for America's Kids (K-12)?" |
| Reasoning: |
"In Monrovia, we believe the most promising frontier in America's longstanding war on drugs... is in the classroom. Classrooms where school children are receiving face-to-face instruction that is giving them the skills and techniques necessary to protect themselves from drug abuse...
D.A.R.E., with the support of parents and the community, can help reduce the number of children who fall prey to smoking, drinking and illicit drugs...
And, although there are many worthwhile prevention programs, none has successfully touched more young people in America than D.A.R.E."
