The risk and protective factors for alcohol and other drug (AOD) use are also discussed. The second section outlines steps for planning drug-free school zones, suggestions include coalition-building, mobilizing the community, creating a shared vision, and evaluating results. Specific strategies for enactment by the school, community, and law enforcement agencies are described in the third section. Section 4 offers suggestions for sharing successes, describing some of the successful models and providing an annotated list of other resources. Five tables and six checklists are included.
