Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA) Program--SSPW

The Department of Public Instruction's (DPI) AODA program, first authorized under Chapter 331, Laws of 1979, is designed to help local school districts utilize their staff and program resources to develop comprehensive AODA programs. The DPI provides assistance to school districts to develop comprehensive AODA programs which encompass both prevention and intervention services. Prevention programs are designed to help students avoid or minimize future problems related to alcohol and other drug use, while intervention programs are designed to help students who are already experiencing problems. Resources are provided to districts in four general categories: training, technical assistance, information dissemination, and grants. In 1988, the Department formed the Wisconsin Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug Education Network (WATODEN) which operates through the combined efforts of DPI and facilitators hired by the twelve regional CESAs. The Network facilitates the department's efforts to accomplish many legislated responsibilities.
