W.I.S.D.  Risk Behavior Survey Reports

Preface

Wimberley I.S.D. High School’s primary focus for drug and alcohol use is a three-pronged approach.  The first prong is to increase awareness through health education classroom lessons, Peer Assisted Leadership class and programs, Red Ribbon Week activities, and Hays Caldwell Council Leadership Group.  Second is keeping drugs and alcohol off campus by enlisting the services of a School Resource Officer, parking lot attendant, drug detection dogs, and specialized nurse training.  The school grounds are designated a drug free zone to assist law enforcement and school administration with enforcement policies.  Students violating school policies for alcohol and drug use are disciplined and when appropriate reported to local law enforcement.  Third individual interventions through the counseling and nursing offices are handled on a confidential basis as a result of ongoing informal and clinical evaluations.

Periodically to assist these efforts we survey the student population.  The following results from our most recent Texas A&M survey conducted the 2002-2003 school year are provided for public information.  In addition to these periodic evaluations the school district files an annual report on drug and alcohol use on campus with the Texas Education Administration as part of our P.E.I.M.S. reporting process.

Texas A&M survey scheduled for 2003-2004 was deferred due to TAKS scheduling pressures.

The District will begin surveying 8^th and 11^th grade students annually and posting those results when available.
