What happened to D.A.R.E.?
What happened to D.A.R.E.?: "Hi, I'm wondering if you can investigate why the Gilroy Unified School District, after 20 plus years, has decided to cancel the D.A.R.E. program that was completely funded by the Gilroy Police Department. No money was ever asked for funding by the GUSD and the police department always donated their time, the prize, everything completely paid for by the police department. Why are they doing away with this education with no thank you, no notice to the police department saying we've decided to cut this out, nothing. I think D.A.R.E. is a great program and my daughter, who just graduated from the program, enjoyed it and got some great information. Can you look into that for me? Thank you."
