 1-4     Against Drugs in Schools (DADS) program; and

 1-5           WHEREAS, These exemplary leaders of tomorrow voluntarily

 1-6     submitted to drug testing as part of the DADS initiative, and their

 1-9     drug use; and

1-10           WHEREAS, Designed to awaken young people to the dangerous

1-13     volunteer coordinator Carl Teel, and Superintendent Joe Dan Lee;

1-14     in implementing the program, these dedicated volunteers also drew

1-16     Carlos McGregor, and Mickey Spencer; and

1-17           WHEREAS, While the initial impetus for the project came from

1-18     parents and educators, it could not have been implemented without
