The Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities program can help fund activities to make schools safe, disciplined, and drug-free. Nearly $531 million in FY 1997 State grant funds will be available for the 1997-98 school year, and President Clinton has requested a $59 million increase for FY 1998. Also, the President has requested $50 million to help communities keep their schools open longer as after-school learning centers.
