The Watson Chapel School District Prevention Recovery Education Program (PREP) partnered with The Center for Healing Hearts and Spirits during Edgewood Elementary’s Title II Meeting to provide families with valuable resources, education, and support.
During the meeting, parents received information on substance abuse prevention and increased awareness of Arkansas Code § 20-27-1903, part of the Protection from Secondhand Smoke for Children Act. The law prohibits knowingly smoking tobacco in a motor vehicle when a child under the age of 14 is present. Individuals who violate the law may be subject to a fine.
Through partnerships like this, WCSD PREP continues working to connect families with information and resources that promote healthier, safer environments for students and their families.
