From November 30th through December 18th, Sabine Parish School District students in grades 6, 8, 10, and 12 will participate in the anonymous Louisiana Caring Communities Youth Survey (CCYS). The purpose of the survey is to gather information needed to plan prevention and intervention programs in our community and schools. These programs will address problems of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use, school dropout, delinquency and violence in our schools and communities. Information will also help judge the effectiveness of current prevention and intervention efforts.
The survey is entirely anonymous and confidential, and your student's participation in the survey is completely voluntary. Each student will be given the option of leaving blank any question that he or she prefers not to answer..
The survey is being conducted by The University of Louisiana Lafayette under contract with The Louisiana Office of Behavioral Health (OBH). The Bach-Harrison project director for this survey is Makenna Allred at Bach Harrison (makenna@bach-harrison.com) or 801-791-7746).
Please feel free to contact her or Dr. Ray Biggar (ray.biggar@louisiana.edu ) if you have any questions regarding the survey.
Here is a copy of the survey. More information can be found on this website: CCYS Reports | Department of Counseling.
