Rene’ Moore, Coordinator, Safe & Drug-Free Schools and Communities The most gratifying part of my job: Having the opportunity to encourage students, parents and staff to make healthy choices and take responsibility for their own personal well-being. My staff and I are doing our jobs when: Adults and youth work together to create positive, healthy and safe learning environments. One of the most effective aspects of the Safe & Drug-Free Program is: Collaboration within the District and the community. We are most effective when we join together and share resources to build assets in our youth to promote school completion. One of the most important things parents can do to help keep kids safe at school: Empower them to observe, report and be engaged in their own personal safety.
>> Strengthened relationships with private schools served by Title IV funds In all, nearly 16,000 students and more than 3,500 adults attended presentations and/or trainings during the school year.

quick fact: lojack The District’s Division of Technology installed LoJack tracking technology on all laptops and desk computers. In December 2008, that technology led Fort Worth police to a residence where they recovered a $1,500 laptop computer. Superintendent Melody Johnson and Chief Technology Officer Kyle Davie vowed that property stolen from the District would be recovered and thieves would be prosecuted.
