Methamphetamine Help in Phoenix Schools

Teachers at the Phoenix Preparatory Academy will be the 1st to utilize the new resource guide to accompany Phoenix's crystal methamphetamine education video "METH: don't even start." The community/media unveiling event is at 10 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 23, at Phoenix Prep, 735 E. Fillmore St.

Mayor Phil Gordon, Vice Mayor Dave Siebert, Councilman Tom Simplot along with educators and eight hundred students from the school will view the video and participate in classroom discussions using the resource guide. Former Arizona Cardinal Bill Lewis, Elizabeth Kempshall, special agent in charge with the USA DEA, and John E. Lewis, special agent in charge with the FBI-Phoenix Division, also will attend.

Earlier this year, all junior high and high schools across Arizona were mailed a copy of the "METH: don't even start" video, a joint production of city channels PHX11 and know99. The next step was to develop a resource guide to aid classroom discussions based on the messages and student reactions from the video. In September, all Arizona junior high and high schools will now receive the resource guide, along with the video on DVD.

The public can get more information and download the resource guide at phoenix.gov/meth.
