As a parent, grandparent, fellow community member and as Mayor, I have supported youth initiatives for many years. It was my privilege in 1997 to lead a delegation of city workers, youth and citizens to Philadelphia to kick-off America's Promise, a nationwide initiative led by General Colin Powell. Closer to home, I have ensured that youth have a voice in the Community, through my Mayor's Youth Council. The students on this advisory council give me their perspectives on city issues, and I immensely enjoy their enthusiasm and their creativity. I am now delighted to share with you a structured plan which provides a unified vision and includes actions each and every one of us can take on behalf of youth. This Plan has been built upon input from many of you through forums, surveys and dialogue. It is truly the Community's plan for youth. My hope is that this dialogue will continue as we work together to create a Community where youth live, learn and play in safe places. The Youth Plan is a blueprint which outlines our vision for insuring the success of our youth. Their success is a direct reflection on the success of our Community. When asked "How are the children?", we want to respond with certainty, "All Our Children Are Well." Accordingly, City Council has adopted as our vision for youth "All Our Children Are Well." There is no investment an adult can make that will get more positive returns than taking the time to nurture a child. I invite all members of the Community to be a partner in achieving this vision for youth. Sincerely, Page 2 of 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) VIRGINIA BEACH YOUTH PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Youth Plan is a result of several years of work toward making youth a top priority in the City of Virginia Beach. It was written by the Youth Opportunities Team, based on input from the Community which we define as groups of people who share interests and beliefs, culture and heritage, a sense of place and/or a common purpose. Smaller communities such as military, faith, and government are called little "c" communities and together they build the big "C" Community of Virginia Beach. The Youth Opportunities Team is representative of City and State agencies in Virginia Beach that serve youth, including: the City Public Schools, the Community Services Board, the Court Services Unit, Public Health, the Youth Opportunities Office, the Volunteer Council and the City Departments of Agriculture, Housing and Neighborhood Preservation, Parks and Recreation, Police, Public Libraries and Social Services. The Youth Opportunities Team is chaired by the Coordinator of the Youth Opportunities Office, whose advisory body is the City Council appointed Youth Services Coordinating Council. The Youth Opportunities Team's task is to answer the question, How can the Community work together to have the greatest positive impact on Virginia Beach youth? The best answers to this question come from the Community, resulting in a Plan created by and for the Community. The CommuniW's Vision for Youth: "All Our Children Are Well" The Community's Vision for Youth is saying, with certainty, "All Our Children Are Well." This African phrase is borrowed from the response given to the Masai Tribe's traditional greeting of"And how are the children?" This greeting shows the emphasis the Masai place on youth in their community. It is the vision of the Youth Plan that the Virginia Beach Community makes the same level of commitment to its youth. Mission The mission of the Youth Opportunities Office is to create and sustain a systems approach to providing youth with accessible and available opportunities which improve their quality of life, increase their chances for achievement, promote their development into responsible citizens and prevent or reduce youth problems. This mission applies to all Virginia Beach youth, from age zero to eighteen--24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Guiding Principles The Plan includes ten Guiding Principles that are the values and beliefs, voiced by the Community, which guided the development of the Youth Plan. They serve as a filter for decision making in planning and providing opportunities for youth. They are: We value all youth as resources. >- We value the voices of youth. We value the importance of developing the whole child - mind, body and spirit. >- We value the role and importance of family. Page 3 of 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) We value partnering with the Community in planning, implementing and evaluating youth opportunities. We believe that a safe and healthy environment is vital to the well-being of youth. We believe everyone has a role in youth development. We believe that diversity builds a strong community. We are committed to investing in prevention. We are committed to linking our actions to the strategic plans of the City of Virginia Beach and City Public Schools. Linkages The Youth Plan is linked to existing frameworks that guided the Team's thinking about youth and families: ~,- Virginia Beach, Virginia: Community for a Lifetime. A Strategy to Achieve City Council's Vision for the Future >- Virginia Beach City Public Schools Strategic Plan 1997-2002 America's Promise for Youth Communities That Care - Social Development Theory Search Institute - Developmental Assets Model National Network for Youth - Community Youth Development Where We Want To Be The current reality for our youth was determined through Community input via forums and surveys and by existing data about youth and their families. After evaluating the current reality and other input from stakeholders, three broad goals (areas of focus) emerged. These goals are: To inform, mobilige and energize the Communi_tv around issues related to youth Get everyone involved in promoting positive youth development: · by establishing partnerships with youth, parents and Community · through community education · by increasing public awareness To create and coordinate a continuous sFstem of support and opportunities for youth and their families Bridge gaps and reduce duplication · Promote the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual well-being of youth · Insure that education, activities and services are available, accessible, affordable and provided by well-trained, caring adults with healthy beliefs and standards To coordinate and monitor the Plan to insure full implementation and evaluation An annual report card allows the Community to: · monitor the effectiveness of opportunities for youth and their families · be pro-active In the Plan, we have listed the desired outcomes that more specifically state where we want to be regarding each goal. Page 4 of 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) How We Get There We reach our goals by bridging the gaps between where we want to be and the current reality. How we bridge the gaps is determined by our actions. Actions are defined as the specific steps to be taken by the Community to achieve the desired outcomes. Actions are recommended under each of the three goals, organized by time frames and reflect who is responsible for taking the action. How We'll Know We're Getting There (Indicators of Success) Indicators of success are the measures that show whether or not we are progressing toward achieving the desired outcomes for youth. They are both quantitative and qualitative in nature and include perceptions, opinions and data. Indicators are especially useful for measuring our progress over time and for planning our future. In the Youth Plan, indicators are provided for each of the three goals. Conclusion Everyone has a role to play in the development of youth. The entire Community stands to benefit if"All Our Children Are Well." Getting everyone involved is the first and most important step in creating a continuous system of Community support for youth. This will insure a sustainable Community where our youth choose to make Virginia Beach their "Community for a Lifetime."

Page 13 of 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) THE CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH YOUTH PLAN Page 14 of 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) BACKGROUND AND HISTORY In October 1996, as part of the City government's ongoing strategic planning process, a Strengthening Families workgroup was convened to develop a collaborative systems approach among youth-serving agencies and to create increased opportunities for school-age children beyond current instructional hours. This group recommended the establishment of the Youth Opportunities Office to coordinate efforts, optimize shrinking resources and promote collaboration among agencies providing services to youth in Virginia Beach. In 1997, City Council demonstrated its commitment to youth by approving funding for the Virginia Beach Youth Opportunities Office. The result was the opening of the Youth Opportunities Office in May 1998. Mission The mission of the Youth Opportunities Office is to create and sustain a systems approach to providing youth with accessible and available opportunities which improve their quality of life, increase their chances for achievement, promote their development into responsible citizens and prevent or reduce youth problems. This mission applies to all Virginia Beach youth, from age zero to eighteen--24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Youth Opportunities Team was established and began meeting in November 1998 for the purpose of achieving this mission. Youth Opportunities Team The Youth Opportunities Team is representative of City and State agencies that serve Virginia Beach youth, including: City Public Schools, Community Services Board, Juvenile Court Services, Public Health, the Youth Opportunities Office, the Volunteer Council, the Virginia Beach Departments of Agriculture, Housing and Neighborhood Preservation, Parks and Recreation, Police, Public Libraries and Social Services. The Youth Opportunities Team's task is to answer the question, How can the Community work together to have the greatest positive impact on Virginia Beach youth? In alignment with the City and Public School goals to involve the Community in decision making processes, the Youth Opportunities Team sought Community input in answering the question. The result is the Youth Plan, to be used as a blueprint for our vision of insuring the success of our youth. Community's Vision for Youth The Plan begins with our vision for youth--ALL OUR CHILDREN ARE WELL--created by the Youth Opportunities Team with the aid of ad hoc groups of community members including youth. The African phrase was adopted from the Masai tribe, who greet each other by asking, "And how are the children?" The response is "All the children are well." This shows the emphasis the Masai place on youth in their community. It is the vision of the Youth Opportunities Team that the Virginia Beach Community makes the same level of commitment to its youth. In developing the vision, ideals from America's Promise, the national youth effort lead by General Colin Powell, were incorporated. America's Promise addresses five fundamental Page 15 of '52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) resource areas that all youth need to insure they have a foundation on which to grow. The areas are~ A caring adult, mentor or coach A safe place to grow and learn A healthy start for a healthy future Effective education for marketable skills An opportunity to give back through community service Locally, America's Promise is being realized through South Hampton Roads Alliance for Youth (SHRAY), a collaboration of five (5) regional cities, including Virginia Beach. Contributions to the Plan The development of the Youth Plan was enhanced by a review of more than twenty youth plans from across the country. After careful evaluation of the plans, the Youth Opportunities Team agreed to extract characteristics from Claremont, California's Youth Master Plan and Hampton, Virginia's Plan for Youth. The Plan is based upon community input gathered from: Safe Schools Forum held in May 1999 Youth Forum held in August 1999 >- Diversity Youth Forum held in November 1999 (dialogue with elementary, middle and high school guidance counselors) >- Yes-2-Kids Youth Service Providers Forum held in December 1999, sponsored by the Youth Opportunities Team Surveys were also distributed to gather information from parents, youth and Virginia Beach businesses. Lastly, a draft review group consisting of seventy-five (75) key stakeholders reviewed and critiqued the Plan prior to City Council's approval by Resolution. Linkages The next step in creating the Plan was to link to existing initiatives that have a connection to youth and their families. These include the Virginia Beach City Public Schools Strategic Plan 1997 - 2002 and the City government Strategic Plan, Virginia Beach Community for a Lifetime, which focuses on the Six Businesses of the City: Family and Youth Opportunities Safe Community Economic Vitality Quality Education and Lifelong Learning Quality Physical Environment Cultural and Recreational Opportunities Page 16 of 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) The Virginia Beach City Public Schools' strategic plan consists of the following goal areas: Expanded Instructional Opportunities Through Data-Driven Curriculum Safe Schools and Effective, Well-Disciplined Environment Effective, Efficient Use of Resources to Create Quality Educational Opportunities Technology Integrated Into Our Curriculum and Instruction Recognition of Our Diversity - Respect for all People Quality Work Force: Trained and Accountable for Performance Meaningful Involvement of Community, Parents, and Partners The goals of the Youth Plan relate to America's Promise and the strategic plans of City government and Schools. All three documents are concerned with optimizing resources and the safety and education of youth. Other common themes are diversity, effective Community and parental involvement. The Youth Plan is about youth and their families, wherever they are, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Page 17 of 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) YOUTH DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK Our philosophy supports a positive youth development approach that places great value on young people regardless of their situations and emphasizes their strengths and potential. Positive youth development does not deny that young people may have serious problems or need special services. The focus is on the need to develop and nurture youth rather than focusing only on problems. Positive youth development is a combination of all of the people, places, supporting elements, opportunities and services that young people need to be happy, healthy and successful. Youth Development is about young people, programs and systems that provide all youth-- "troubled" or not--with the supports and opportunities they need to empower themselves. Community_ Youth Development One framework that guides our thinking, created by the National Network for Youth, is Community Youth Development. Assumptions central to a Community Youth Development approach are: Youth problems and their prevention are Community problems and responsibilities; the causes of youth problems and their solutions are found in the Community. The Community is responsible for changing those conditions that contribute to youth problems. Improving the quality of life for our young people is accomplished through cooperation with key decision makers, human service providers and youth and adult citizens. The Youth Plan is also based on scientific models of youth development. Two of those models come from the Search Institute's Developmental Assets and the Communities that Care Social Development Strategy. Developmental Assets The Search Institute's Developmental Assets model recognizes that youth need assets to be successful. Research indicates the more assets youth possess, the more likely they are to succeed and the less likely they are to become involved in risky behavior. Young people who are successful, despite being confronted with many challenges, have a number of positive things in their lives. The concept of developmental assets emerged out of their study of 500,000 youth, grades 6-12, in more than 600 United States communities. The developmental assets are elements that all youth need in order to be healthy, caring, principled and productive. There are 40 developmental assets, 20 external and 20 internal. The following are the categories of assets: External Assets: come primarily from families, other people and institutions and surround youth with: ~ Support Page 18 of 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) Empowerment Boundaries and High Expectations Constructive Use of Time Internal Assets: attitudes and values that nurture youth from within and include: >- Commitment to Learning >- Positive Values >- Social Competencies >- Positive Identity Research shows that healthy relationships and bonding to family, school and community are key factors that protect and that building assets in young people is an ongoing process which requires consistent, positive messages. Duplication and repetition are important. This means that all levels of the Community need to share and reinforce the same messages. Social Development Strateev (Risk and Protective factors) The Social Development Strategy is based on reducing risk factors and enhancing protective factors. Risk factors are specific characteristics which increase the chances of a child having behavior problems. Some of the Risk factors impacting youth include: Low neighborhood attachment Extreme economic deprivation Family management problems Family conflict Academic failure beginning in late elementary school Lack of commitment to school Early and persistent antisocial behavior One or more of these risk factors increase the likelihood that a child will develop problem behaviors in adolescence, such as drug abuse, violence and delinquency. The more risk factors to which an individual is exposed, the greater the likelihood the individual will engage in problem behaviors. If risk factors are reduced, the probability that children will succeed will increase. This is known as risk-focused prevention. Protective factors buffer exposure to risk by promoting positive behavior, health, well-being and personal success. Protective factors include: Positive relationships that promote close bonds to adults with healthy beliefs and clear standards for behavior Opportunities for meaningful involvement Skills to be successful Page 19 of 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) ~,- Recognition/Rewards These frameworks share several key factors instrumental to successful youth development. In essence, the entire Community must take responsibility for youth to insure they develop positive relationships with caring adults and consistently receive the same messages regarding boundaries and expectations. These factors are critical to the success of our youth. Every adult can take an interest in youth and find ways, small or large, to build on a young person's assets and strengths. Page 20 of 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) CURRENT REALITY INTRODUCTION: Collecting and tracking data and information about Virginia Beach youth and their families help us determine their needs and identify gaps in services and opportunities. For the purposes of the Youth Plan we organized the data and information organized into seven categories. Each of the categories is described below. CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH: Virginia Beach is the most populated city in the state with over 439,000 citizens. In 1990, the population of Virginia Beach was 393,069 with an ethnic composition of 14% African American, 80% Caucasian and 6% other. This is the most current data for the general population. It is comprised of 259 square miles of land and 51 square miles of water. Approximately 32,700 acres of Virginia Beach land is under cultivation for farm use. Virginia Beach ranks first in the nation in safety for a city of its size. The Virginia Beach economy is comprised of a diverse range of activities from four military bases to agribusiness, construction, real estate, tourism and related businesses. In 1997 there were over 2.5 million visitors to our city. Per capita income estimates in 1998 and 2000 indicate that Virginia Beach income continues to be above other cities in the region. However, estimates for the year 2000 show the city's per capita income ($28,000) to be 5.7 percent below the state's average ($29,702). As in the nation, unemployment in Virginia Beach remains low at 2.8 percent for 1998 (latest available data). In 1994, the number of Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) recipients in Virginia Beach was 3,449. In 1997, welfare reform began and the number of Virginia Beach families receiving TANF benefits decreased to 1,444 by the end of 1999. During the same time period, the number of persons receiving food stamps was at an all high of 12,000, reduced to 6,000 in 1999. There has been a gradual rise in the number of students eligible for the free and reduced price school lunch program from 19.7 percent (14,229) in 1991-92 to 24.5 percent (18,627) in 1998-99. Data from Virginia Beach City Public Schools indicates a significant change in the ethnic composition of the student membership from 1991 to 1999: Student Ethnic Composition STUDENTS 1991-92 1998-99 Caucasian Percent 73.8% 65.1% Number 53,815 50,451 African American Percent 18.8% 26.1% Page 21 of 52 Number 13,631 20,211 Asian/Pacific Islander Percent 5.5% 5.3% Number 4,002 4,112 Hispanic Percent 1.8% 3.3% Number 1,285 2,528 Native-American Percent .1% .2% Number 55 140 From 1991 to 1999 the student population went from 72,394 to 77,442 for a 7% increase in total population. The Virginia Beach City Public School system is comprised of 55 elementary schools, 15 middle schools and 13 high schools. Over 77,000 students were served during the 98/99 school year in grades K-12. Elementary school enrollment was 36,725; middle school enrollment was 18,435 and high school enrollment was 22,242. An additional 549 students were registered as home schoolers. The special education population accounted for 12.7% and the gifted population accounted for 9.9% (97-98 Annual ReporO. The degree to which children enter school ready to learn is measured in part by the kindergarten retention rate. Virginia Beach kindergarten students were held back at a rate of 2.3 percent in 97/98, compared to the state average of 4.2 percent and the regional average of 6.8 percent. Sixth grade students are being held back at a rate of 9% and the percentage increases to a high of 18% in the 9th grade. Conversely, 15% were absent more than ten (10) days. Truancy is measured by absenteeism from school, ten (10) days or more. It appears that students have greatest difficulties at the transition to middle school (sixth grade) and again at the transition to high school (ninth grade). PARTNERSHIPS Effective partnerships enhance the quality of life for youth. Working as partners produces maximum benefits from our efforts and resources, discourages the duplication of services and encourages a holistic approach to working with and on behalf of young people. The most effective collaborative efforts established on behalf of youth are careful to involve parents and youth as lifelong partners. In forums and surveys, major stakeholders clearly expressed the desire to establish effective partnerships between members and groups within the community, specifically among youth, families and the Community. Service providers noted the multiplied effect when resources and ideas are pooled together. Parents and providers expressed a need for parental involvement Page 22 of 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAYr ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) wherever children are involved. Youth noted a desire to contribute to their community through service and leadership roles. Virginia Beach is no stranger to effective partnerships for youth. Our public schools' focus on partnerships has resulted in rewarding experiences for thousands of students and over 6,000 businesses and community organizations. In addition, agencies and organizations are working together to provide comprehensive services to youth and families more today than in the past. The Virginia Beach Youth Plan focuses on establishing partnerships that have the greatest positive impact on youth. Partnerships With Youth Youth want to be meaningfully involved in their families, schools and communities. In a Youth Forum held in 1999, Virginia Beach youth reported that if given the opportunity, they would participate in activities that give them a voice in making decisions about life in our city. Engaging youth in service and decision making has major benefits to both youth and the Community. Community service and leadership roles are primary opportunities for empowering youth. Empowerment builds self-esteem and commitment to the community. Although youth partnership opportunities exist, they are minimal in comparison to the number of agencies and individuals making decisions on behalf of youth. Of the 33 City departments in Virginia Beach, 13 provide direct services to youth. Fewer than 100 youth serve in decision making capacities in only 5 of these agencies. Young people are valuable resources. They have much to offer and should be encouraged to contribute. In particular, agencies that provide services to youth should seek sustained youth involvement in determining the types of programs and activities they provide. Youth-adult partnerships are complex and must be nurtured in order to be successful. Youth must be trained to be leaders and adults must be trained to allow youth to lead. Our desire is to create a comprehensive system of opportunities for youth to be meaningfully involved in the life of the community. Partnerships With Families Parents and families provide the first level of support for their children. Parents are the most significant adults in children's lives. It is essential that families have the resources, skills and support to provide proper care in raising their children. Effective partnerships/relationships with families, in schools and the Community, insure a strong network of support for nurturing and rearing our children. Three areas that require attention are: Child Care: There are 262 licensed child care providers and centers in Virginia Beach. According to the Vision and Indicators report by the Planning Council (2000) there is an average of 60 children Page 23 of 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) on waiting lists for subsidized child care. This number has dropped over the years with the infusion of Welfare Reform dollars to alleviate the shortage. However, the long, albeit diminished, waiting lists are also attributed to the state certifying workers with minimal child care training. Additionally, child care providers in Virginia eam less than providers in other areas, creating turnover and instability in the lives of children. Parents with lower incomes are prone to seek child care from unlicensed providers. Parents, regardless of income, should have access to affordable quality child care. Parental Involvement: Parents should play a significant role in the decision making as it relates to the care, education and activities of their children. Studies show that children whose parents are most involved in their education perform better in school than those whose parents are not involved. The Community, parents, educators, businesses and service providers - expressed a desire to have more parents involved in their children's activities. There are 43,300 parents who are members of the public school Parent Teacher Association (PTA), of which 20% actively participate. There are many instances of effective parental involvement in the schools and the community, such as Volunteers in Education, neighborhood sports leagues and scouting. One goal of the Virginia Beach City Public Schools is to develop and publish a plan for effective parental involvement in the educational process of their children, essentially creating partnerships with parents. This initiative has begun with the establishment of a Parents' Involvement Advisory Team. A number of factors determine whether or not parents participate in schools or community advisory groups. Meetings may be held at times when working parents cannot attend. Lack of transportation may be an issue, as may the fact that they are more concerned with meeting the basic needs of their children, lowering education on their list of priorities. Schools and agencies may not be perceived by parents as friendly and inviting. The Youth Plan recommends that every agency working with youth establish a mechanism for convenient and meaningful parental input. Parental Support: Parents need time to attend to the needs of their children and to acquire and enhance skills that promote quality parenting. Virginia Beach employers in collaborative efforts with the community can provide support to parents by granting leave time to enable parental participation in activities or to provide care to sick children. The community may assist in supporting parents by recruitment of qualified volunteers to serve as caretakers and mentors for parents to enhance parenting skills. Work sites may be used to provide parent-training sessions based on expressed needs of participants. Partnerships with the Community_: Everyone has a role to play in the development of our youth. The proverb "it takes a village to raise our children," holds true in Virginia Beach. Mobilizing the Community to become partners in our vision must begin at the highest level of influence, the Virginia Beach City Council. City Page 24 of 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) Council's adoption of the Community Vision for Youth, "All Our Children Are Well", stage for a higher level of responsibility to make youth a priority. Essentially, this is a commitment to form partnerships to positively impact the lives of Virginia Beach youth. sets the There are certain basic tools all children need to be well. The language and understanding of the tools are not universal, leaving otherwise caring adults without the information to successfully participate in the "village" experience. The Youth Plan calls for informing, mobilizing and energizing the Community to increase awareness about and encourage their participation in positive youth development. In many cases, funding for youth programs is provided according to services that are mandated. In other instances, grants are awarded based on the availability of funding. In 1999 City Council approved a number of grants for youth programs targeting various issues. The Plan promotes prioritizing funding to optimize our resources and achieve the results desired by the Community. AWARENESS In forums and surveys, stakeholders resoundingly indicated their need for increased awareness and accessible information in several areas: services and opportunities for youth what youth need to succeed and what roles adults can play positive images of youth Youth, families and the Community should be aware of all available opportunities for youth. There are a number of mechanisms to distribute information through schools and public and private organizations. Youth Connections, a database of youth services and activities, will allow the Community to access information regarding all services for youth. The Youth Plan also calls for the establishment or enhancement of a providers network to share information and work collaboratively for the needs of youth. A Community committed to positive youth development must have information regarding what youth need to succeed and what roles adults can play. The Community needs a shared understanding of how to build developmental assets in young people and reduce risk factors that contribute to problem behavior. Young people traditionally report that adults perceive them negatively. An aggressive community awareness campaign will be implemented utilizing support from city, schools and private media partners. Community partnerships with the media to showcase positive images of youth will help change adult perceptions. Page 25 of 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) The Plan calls for increasing Community awareness about issues related to youth through a variety of venues including: Youth Connections, a providers network, the Youth Opportunities Office web page, a Virginia Beach Youth web page, newsletters, print and broadcast media. HEALTH AND WELL-BEING Virginia Beach is recognized nationally as a safe and healthy place to live. However, there are still gaps. The Plan emphasizes prioritizing funding to implement initiatives that promote the healthy development of children ages 0-6 and reduce problem behaviors such as drug and alcohol abuse, crimes against property, truancy, school dropout and teen pregnancy. If Virginia Beach is to be a Community for a Lifetime, the health and wellness of our youth must remain a priority. Juvenile Crime The crime rate for all ages in Virginia Beach is the lowest in the region. Juvenile arrests for violent crimes decreased more than 50%, between 1996 and 1998, from 145 to 70. Additionally, the number of delinquency complaints was 1,254 in 1998, of which 90% actually became petitions to the court. In 1997, there were 1,287 Virginia Beach juveniles in pretrial incarceration and in 1,583 in 1998. Also, until a recent change in the detention regulations, probation violators represented the highest number of youth in the Tidewater Detention Center. During the 3- year period of 1996 -1998, there were an average of 362 juvenile arrests for possession of drags. In addition, the number of juvenile arrests for violations of liquor laws have increased 80% since 1996, a correlation to the high number of adult drank driving arrests. There were 1,320 property crimes, a decrease of 244 from 1996-1998, reflecting a low attachment level to the community. Teen Pregnancy There were 1,052 pregnancies for girls 10 -19 years old in 1998 in Virginia Beach. According to Vital Statistics, these pregnancies resulted in 615 deliveries, 407 induced abortions and 30 spontaneous abortions (miscarriages/deaths). The number of teen pregnancies and consequently the number of abortions are addressed through teen pregnancy prevention collaboratives such as Parmers in Prevention. Teen pregnancy often results in low birth weight. Low birth weight babies face a greater risk of infant mortality or lifelong disabilities, both mental and physical, than babies bom 4 ½ lbs. or more. In Virginia Beach there were 454 low weight births in 1997, down from a high of 518 in 1994. There were 57 infant deaths in 1996 and in 1997. The Health Department's campaign to immunize all children has resulted in 90 % of all children being immunized. School Safety_ Page 26 of 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) Virginia Beach City Public Schools have a good safety record. A Virginia Beach Police School Resource Officer is located at each middle and high school, providing a sense of security for students and faculty. The perception of schools being unsafe usually increases when incidents of violence occur in other areas, such as the case in Columbine. However, a 1999 survey of 300 youth, following the Columbine massacre, revealed that over 90% of middle and high school participants feel that schools are safe. Virginia Beach City Public Schools have regularly scheduled school safety audits that review security procedures, emergency plans and building safety. School safety may be viewed from the nature of disciplinary referrals. In 1997, Schools partnered with the Community Services Board (the public agency for mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse) to implement the Substance Abuse Intervention Program (SAIP). SAIP provides an opportunity for first time violators of the Schools' drug policy to receive intensive substance education while continuing their academic education. During the 1999 - 2000 school year, 200 students were referred to SAIP. Newborn to Six Years Old Children ages 0-6 have special developmental needs with lifetime implications for health and success. Several public schools have "Ready to Learn" outreach initiatives designed specifically for preschoolers in their school zones. Academic failure and juvenile delinquency are often attributed to lack of proper nurturing, rearing and health care during these major brain development years. This awareness prompted the City of Virginia Beach to establish the Ready to Learn Team and support the Healthy Families Initiative, both of which share the mission to insure that all children are born healthy and enter school ready to learn. Both teams have broad based community representation from City government, schools, and the community. The Ready to Learn Team focuses on creating and expanding resources and opportunities for young children and families while educating parents and the Community on the developmental needs of young children. The Healthy Families Initiative currently provides in-home support to only 100 of the 800 eligible first-time mothers. This represents a tremendous gap in services for many pre- school children, who are among our most vulnerable citizens. The number of children involved in founded child abuse cases decreased, from 969 children in fiscal year 1996-97, to 890 children in fiscal year 1998-99. The abuse of 890 children is high and a reality we must confront in our community. EDUCATION AND TRAINING Youth service providers at the 1999 Y2K forum identified the education and training of service providers, parents, and youth as a need. The City strategy document emphasizes and encourages support for community-based efforts to provide skills and training for responsible parenting, care giving, and adult mentoring of children. There needs to be a shared understanding of the language and needs of youth. This can be achieved through systematic training throughout the Page 27 of 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) community. It is important for those providing services to our youth to be competent and well trained. The City and schools have placed priorities on these needs and are providing opportunities for education and on-going staff development. Student Education: Youth are offered comprehensive educational programs though public and private schools. In 1997, the Standards of Learning (SOL) were implemented in Virginia schools to assure minimum standards of education for all students. Early indications from the testing in Virginia Beach in 2000 shows that 16 schools met full standards and 38 additional schools met standards in all but one area. Remediation programs are offered at all schools and in the community through the City government's Community Action Resource and Empowerment (CARE) to assist students who are at risk of not meeting the standards. The Virginia Beach School division's focus on quality promotes the student's role as an active participant in the educational process with valuable input into their own education. Educators/Youth Services Providers: One of the School Board's seven major strategic plan goals focuses on the continued development of a quality workforce, trained and accountable for performance. Extensive and continuous training is offered to school administrators and educators alike. Training efforts focus on student learning and achievement and are closely aligned with the Public School's strategic plan. Teachers are also paired with experienced mentors who provide guidance and support for early career success. In order to be licensed childcare providers, a minimum level of training and continuing education is required. Parental Training: When parents have the knowledge, skills and abilities to nurture healthy and happy families, we see reductions in child abuse and neglect and an increase in parental participation in school and community activities. Parenting programs are offered by many agencies, including the Community Services Board; the Department of Social Services; the Schools; Virginia Beach Council of PTAs, Navy Family Services and other private and faith-based organizations. Various strategies have been utilized to increase participation, such as the provision of child-care, transportation and daytime and evening classes. Despite these many offerings, classes are not always well attended. Services need to be more accessible in the communities, churches, and schools and to those who are willing to participate. The Schools also offer numerous opportunities for training parents through Partners in Education (over 12,000), and Volunteers in Education (over 13,000 annually). All volunteers supporting public education in Virginia Beach receive training prior to their service in schools and work under the direct supervision of school staff. Truancy Previous truancy reduction programs in Virginia Beach reduced the incidence of crimes committed by juveniles during school hours. All middle and high schools currently utilize the Page 28 of 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) services of well-trained resource officers and school social workers to address truancy issues. In 1998-99, 85% of the students in middle school (grades 6-8) were absent 10 days or less. Conversely, 15% of those students are absent more than 10 days. High absenteeism leads to academic failure, a detachment to school and dropping out of school. In July 1999 changes were made to the State attendance code requiring localities to take specific actions when students are truant. Court services opened a new Children in Need of Services (CHINS) unit in July 1999 to work with non-adjudicated youth who have been truant from school. Virginia Beach's dropout rate for the 97-98 school year, grades 7-12, was 4.92% where the State average was 3.27%. Alternative education programs specifically train staff to address challenging student behaviors, low academic achievement, and offer alternatives to graduation such as a GED program, if other interventions have not been successful. Computers are now being used in most every aspect of life. However, them appears to be a "digital divide" between those who are computer literate and those who have little or no computer access or ability. To help bridge the "digital divide," schools have piloted projects such as Computers for Kids in interested schools, increasing home access to computers for the students. Every school has classroom computers, computer labs, and access to the internet. A survey of school administrators (May 2000) indicated that 72% of school computer labs are used after school hours, primarily by students, staff and parents. In fact, the computer lab at Creeds Elementary School will be available to the Community and staffed by the public library when not being used by the school. A school system task force of school and community members is currently exploring the need/cost/benefit of opening the school computer labs further to the community. Computer classes, funded through a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, are offered in the community at two (2) public libraries. Also, three (3) community recreation centers house computer labs for public use. Many opportunities for education and training of youth service providers currently exist, but expansion and improvement of these training initiatives is critical. At present, this minimum appears to be inadequate for those providing services to the 0-6 populations. There is an on- going need to reach target populations not currently taking advantage of training efforts. ACTIVITIES AND SERVICES Virginia Beach is rich in services and opportunities for youth. However, the Community assessment reveals room for service improvement through the effective use of data, by insuring accessibility and through greater coordination and collaboration of existing opportunities. Utilizing data to guide our actions will result in more effective programs. While many Community agencies maintain extensive data, there is no central clearing house for accessing all community data. Page 29 of. 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) Youth and their parents want services to be accessible. They defined accessible in three (3) categories: transportation, community-based and affordable. Transportation was mentioned more frequently than any other barrier to youth and parent involvement. Lack of transportation limits access to special events and the wide array of activities in the area. Recreation centers are often not within walking distance and many areas have no continuous bike paths. Community-based activities and services are easily accessible and present opportunities to promote bonding and a sense of connection. Citizens should have a voice in deciding what services and opportunities should be available in their communities and play a role in sustaining them. Schools are often ideal locations for community-based programs and services, but there are currently no Community Schools in Virginia Beach. Affordability is a factor in whether or not services are accessed. Many activities and services require a fee, often not affordable to some parents and youth. Fee waivers or sliding fee scales are available in some instances. Coordination and collaboration between providers result in bridged gaps in services and unduplicated efforts. They assist in making sure our resources are appropriately allocated and managed. ANALYSIS AND PLANNING How do we know if what we're doing is actually working? As stated earlier, Virginia Beach has a variety of programs and services which address the needs of youth and their families. Currently, there is no systematic process in place to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of our work. Such a system, including a program evaluation model utilized by schools and community organizations, will assist in determining the Community's progress in positively impacting the lives of youth and provide direction for continuous efforts. The Youth Plan recommends partnering with a local university to evaluate existing programs, particularly those addressing the problem behaviors highlighted in the Plan. Such an approach would effectively add expertise and independence to the evaluation efforts.

These goals are: To inform, mobilize and energize the Community around issues related to youth. To create and coordinate a continuous system of support and opportunities for youth and their families. To coordinate and monitor the Plan to insure full implementation and evaluation. These goals are very broad in scope and as shown in the Map of the Plan on the previous page, they are the umbrella for the more specific parts of the Plan. Desired outcomes more specifically describe where the Community wants to be and fall into the six categories outlined on the Map. The most specific pieces of the Plan, the indicators and the actions, are derived from the desired outcomes. The Actions are specific steps to take to help achieve the desired outcomes and, ultimately, the goals. The indicators of success are what will be used to measure our progress. For each goal, there is a set of desired outcomes, actions and indicators. The actions are broken down into immediate, mid-term and long-term time periods. Each action is only listed once, although some achieve more than one desired outcome. It is important to note that achieving these goals is only possible with the commitment of the entire Community. PAGE 32 OF 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) Goal 1 To Inform, Mobilize and Energize the Community_ Around Issues Related to Youth All members of the Community share the vision and accept responsibility for nurturing happy, healthy youth and their families. To achieve this goal, the Youth Opportunities Team will share the Youth Plan, provide opportunities for dialogue and welcome continuous feedback from all members of the Community. The resulting increase in awareness of youth issues and opportunities will encourage the commitment, support and involvement of everyone. Desired Outcomes Youth, parents and the Community understand and share the Community vision for youth. The Community has a shared understanding and language regarding the needs and interests of youth. The Community, especially youth and parents, are actively involved in the development and implementation of diverse youth opportunities. Youth bring energy, fresh ideas and a willingness to learn to the Community. Parents and the Community encourage and support participation in youth opportunities. >' Youth, families and the Community are aware of all opportunities for youth. >- Community partners work collaboratively to promote opportunities and publicize positive images of youth. Immediate Actions 1. (One to six months) City Council will adopt and support the Vision, "All Our Children Are Well" and the Youth Plan as a Community guide for positively impacting the lives of youth. The School Board will endorse and support the Vision, "All Our Children Are Well"and the Youth Plan as a Community guide for positively impacting the lives of youth. The Youth Opportunities Office, in collaboration with the Department of Public Libraries, will develop and maintain an up-to-date database of Virginia Beach youth services and programs, Youth Connections, accessible to all citizens via the Internet.

Virginia Beach Department of Communications and Information Technology will provide technical support, upon request, to agencies that supply computers for public access to the Youth Connections database. Indicators of Success Youth report that they have opportunities to provide input Youth feel their opinions are taken seriously Increase in the number and diversification of members on the Youth Opportunities Team Number of City departments and Community agencies that submit Youth Action Plans Number of new and/or enhanced partnerships with businesses and agencies Number of staff, parents, businesses and communities trained on Youth Development approaches Number of adults trained to partner with youth Number of how-to guides distributed Number of active members on the City-Wide Parent Involvement Advisory Group Diversification of members on the City-Wide Parent Involvement Advisory Group Number, location and utilization rate of computers set-up for public use Number of visits to Youth Connections website Number of visits to the Youth Opportunities website Results of database survey Number of media spots portraying positive images of youth Goal 2 To Create a Coordinated and Continuous System of Support and Opportunities for Youth and Their Families Creating a coordinated and continuous system of diverse opportunities accessible to all youth and their families promotes the physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual well-being of youth PAGE 35 OF 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFt ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) and insures that all children live, learn and play in safe places. A system, maintained by a coordinated network of community support improves the likelihood of bridging gaps and reduced duplication of services. Desired Outcomes The Community enables youth to participate in opportunities that reflect diversity. Virginia Beach employers are supportive of families. The Community provides opportunities for adults that enable them to be good parents. Governing agencies make youth a priority through decision-making, legislation and funding. All youth have access to and are encouraged and mentored by qualified, caring adults at home, school and in the Community. Services to youth are in alignment with and supported by the Plan. The Community is a nurturing environment in which opportunities to learn and play in safe places are available and accessible for families of all income levels. Youth access to transportation is not limited by income, special needs, or the neighborhood in which they live. Youth and their families have what they need to develop the emotional, intellectual and social skills and abilities to be productive members of society and to be physically and spiritually well. All youth participate in healthy leisure activities, building habits for lifelong health. Parents have the knowledge, skills and abilities to nurture happy, healthy families. Youth service providers have the knowledge, skills and abilities to positively impact youth. Immediate Actions (One to six months) City and Schools will maintain emphasis on the development of the young child (ages 0-6) by supporting the recommendations of the Ready to Learn Team and the Healthy Families Initiative. Mid-Term Actions (6 - 12 months) 1. The Youth Services Coordinating Council will seek City Council approval to add staff support to the Youth Opportunities Office. 2.

Because the Plan is a living document requiring regular updates and evaluation, Community input and feedback are essential. Desired Outcomes Community input and feedback are valued. Youth are actively involved in the evaluation of youth opportunities. Youth opportunities have measurable outcomes. Mid-Term Actions (6-12 months) PAGE 38 OF 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) 1. The Youth Opportunities Office will take the lead on developing a system for data collection, planning and analysis for implementation of the Youth Plan. 2. The Youth Opportunities Office will publish an annual report card for public information on the progress of the Plan. 3. A youth survey will be administered in the schools every two (2) years to determine risks and assets in youth, families, schools and communities. 4. The Community will provide input on progress of initiatives outlined in the Youth Plan. 5. Youth service agencies will provide data and outcome measures for annual report cards. Long-Term Actions (13 months or more) The Youth Opportunities Team will partner with a local university to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of existing programs that address child abuse, teen pregnancy, sexually-transmitted diseases, truancy, school dropout, substance abuse and other criminal behavior and to create a model for ongoing program evaluation. The Youth Opportunities Team will develop a checklist to provide to City Council, the Mayor and City departments which address youth and family issues to use as a guide when making policies and decisions regarding youth issues and/or funding. Indicators of Success Number of forums for community input Number of youth involved in the evaluation process Increases in the number of youth who are members on councils, committees and boards Decrease in risk factors perceived by youth Increase in protective factors perceived by youth PAGE 39 OF 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) CONCLUSION For youth to reach their full potential, the entire Community must take a positive and unified approach. ALL youth should be viewed as resources and their voices should be heard alongside the voices of all other Community members. Building on their strengths will have the greatest positive impact on youth. We must develop well-rounded youth by focusing on their emotional, physical, mental, social and spiritual needs. To become successful, contributing members of society, youth need: structured activities, provided by caring adults opportunities which are available and accessible safe places in which to grow, learn and play The Youth Plan provides actions to insure the Virginia Beach Community meets these needs. Above all, youth need adults who care enough to get involved -- cheering them on, helping them set standards, giving them opportunities and expectations, and having faith in them. While most adults do care about youth, many are not sure how they can turn their concern into action. This Plan provides actions that all Community members can take on the behalf of youth. If everyone of us made an effort to build one asset for one child, the impact would be tremendous. PAGE 40 OF 52 YOUTH PLAN - DRAFT ONLY (NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION) GLOSSARY Community: groups of people who share interests and beliefs (like religious communities), culture and heritage (like ethnic communities), a sense of place (like neighborhoods), or a common purpose (such as military, media, businesses, organizations, special interest groups and our own government community). In Virginia Beach, these smaller communities are called little "c" communities. All little "c" communities will work toward building the big "C" Community of Virginia Beach. Community is not just a place but a spirit...a sense of belonging. It uses issues, common purposes and relationships to bring people together and to accomplish things they cannot accomplish on their own. 2. Community School: an educational facility which houses a broad range of resources to meet the needs of the Community. 3.

The problem behaviors they predict are indicated in parentheses. Community Risk Factors Availability of drugs (substance abuse). The more easily available drugs and alcohol are in a commtmity, the greater the risk that drug abuse will occur in that community (Gorsuch & Butler, [976). Perceived availability of drugs in school is also associated with increased risk (Gottfredson, 1988). Availability of firearms (delinquency, violence). Firearms, primarily handguns, are the leading mechanism of violent injury and death (Fingerhut, Kleinman, Godfrey, & Rosenberg, 199 I). Easy availability of firearms may escalate an exchange of angry words and fists into an exchange of gunf'~re. Research has found that areas with greater availability of firearms experience higher rates of violent crime including homicide (Alexander, Massey, Gibbs, Altekruse, 1985; Kellerrnan, Rivara, Rushforth et al., in review; Wintenute, 1987). Community laws and norms favorable toward drug use, firearms, and crime (substance abuse, delinquency, and violence). Community norms--the attitudes and policies a community holds in relation to drug use, violence, and crime--are communicated in a variety of ways: through laws and written policies, through informal social practices, through the media, and through the expectations that parents, teachers, and other members of the community have of young people. When laws, tax rates, and community standards are favorable toward substance abuse or crime, or even when they are just unclear, young people are at higher risk. One example of a community, law affecting drug use is the taxation of alcoholic beverages. Higher rates of taxation decrease the rate of alcohol use (Levy & Sheflin, 1985; Cook & Tauchen, 1982). Examples of local rules and norms that also are linked with rates of drug and alcohol use are policies and regulations in schools and workplaces. Media portrayals of violence (violence). There is growing evidence that media violence can have an impact upon community acceptance and rates of violent or aggressive behavior. Several studies have documented both long- and short-term effects of media violence on aggressive behavior (Eton & Huesmann, 1987; National Research Council, 1993). Transitions and mobility (substance abuse, delinquency, and school dropout). Even normal school transitions can predict increases in problem behaviors. When children move from elementary school to middle school or from middle school to high school, significant increases in the rates of drug use, school dropout, and anti-social behavior may occur (Gottfredson, 1988). Communities characterized by high rates of mobility appear to be at an increased risk of drug and crime problems. The more the people in a community move, the greater the risk of criminal behavior (Farr/ngton, 1991). While some people find buffers against the negative effects of mobility by making connections in new communities, others are less likely to have the resources to deal with the effects of frequent moves and are more likely to have problems. Low neighborhood attachment and community disorganization (substance abuse, delinquency, and violence). Higher rates of drug problems, crime, and delinquency and higher rates of adult crime and drug trafficking occur in communities or neighborhoods where people have little attachment to the community, where the rates of vandalism are Appendix PAGE 47 OF 52 high, and where surveillance of public places is low (Murray, 1983; Wilson & Hemstein, 1985). Perhaps the most sign/ficam issue affecting community attachment is whether residents feel they can make a difference in their lives. If the key players in the neighborhood--such as merchants, teachers, police, and human and social services persormel--tive outside the neighborhood, residents' sense of commitment will be less. Lower rates of voter participation and parental involvement in school also reflect attitudes about community attachment. Neighborhood disorganization makes it more difficult for schools, churches, and families to pass on pro-social values and norms (Herring & Guest, 1985; Sampson, 1986). Extreme economic and social deprivation (substance abuse, delinquency, violence, teen pregnancy, and school dropout). Children who live in deteriorating neighborhoods characterized by extreme poverty, poor living conditions, and high unemployment arc more likely to develop problems wi~ delinquency, teen pregnancy, and school dropout or to engage in violence toward others during adolescence and adulthood (Bursik & Webb, 1982; Farrington et al., 1990). Children who live in these areas and have behavior or adjustment problems early in life are also more likely to have problems with drugs later on (Robins & Ratcliff, 1979). Family Risk Factors A family history of high-risk behavior (substance abuse, delinquency, teen pregnancy, and school dropout). If children are raised in a family with a history of addiction to alcohol or other drugs, their risk of having alcohol or other drug problems themselves increases (Goodwin, 1985). If children are born or raised in a family with a history of criminal activity, their risk for delinquency increases (Bohman, 1978). Similarly, children who are bom to a teenage mo~er are more 1Lkcly to be teen parents, and cb.i]dren of dropouts are more likely to drop out of school themselves (Slavm, 1990). Family management problems (substance abuse, delinquency, violence, teen pregnancy, and school dropout). Poor family management practices are defined as a lack of clear expectations for behavior, failure of parents to supervise and monitor their children, and excessively severe, harsh, or inconsistent punishment. Children exposed to these poor family management practices are at higher risk of developing all of the health and behavior problems listed above (Patterson & Disk[on, 1985; Farrington, [991; Kandel & Andrews, 1987; Peterson et al., 1994; Thomberry, 1994). Family conflict (substance abuse, delinquency, violence, teen pregnancy, and school dropout). Although children whose parents are divorced have higher rates of delinquency and substance abuse, it appears that it is not the divorce itself that contributes to delinquent behavior. Rather, conflict between family members appears to be more important in predicting delinquency than family structure (Rutter & Giller, 1983). For example, domestic violence in a family increases the likelihood that young people will engage in violent behavior themselves (Loeber & Dishion, 1984). Children raised in an environment of conflict between family members appear to be at risk for all of these problems behaviors. Parental attitudes and involvement in the problem behavior (substance abuse, delinquency, and violence). Parental attitudes and behavior toward drugs and crime influence the attitudes and behavior of their children (Brook et al., 1990; Kandel, Kessler, & Maguiles, 1978; Hansen, Graham, Shelton, Flay, & Johnson, 1987). Children of parents who excuse their children for breaking the law are more likely to develop problems with juvenile delinquency (Haw ~kins & Weis, 1985). Children whose parents engage in violent behavior inside or outside the home are at greater risk for exhibiting violent behavior. Appendix P^GE 48 OF 52 In families where parents use illegal drugs, are heavy users of alcohol, or are tolerant of children's use, children are more likely to become drug abusers in adolescence. The risk is further increased if parents involve children in their own drug or alcohol-using behavior--for example, asking the child to light the parent's cigarette or get the parent a beer from the refrigerator (Ahined, Bush, Davidson, & Iannotti, 1984). School Risk Factors Early and persistent antisocial behavior (substance abuse, delinquency, violence, teen pregnancy, and school dropout). Boys who are aggressive in grades K-3 or who have trouble controlling their impulses are at higher risk for substance abuse, delinquency, and violent behavior (Loeber, 1988; Lerner & Vicary, 1984; American Psychological Association, 1993). When a boy's aggressive behavior in the early grades is combined with isolation or withdrawal, there is an even greater risk of problems in adolescence. This also applies to aggressive behavior combined with hyperactivity (Kellam & Brown, 1982). Academic failure beginning in late elementary school (substance abuse, delinquency, violence, teen pregnancy, and school dropout). Beginning in the late elementary grades, academic failure increases the risk of drug abuse, delinquency, violence, teen pregnancy, and school dropout. Children fail for many reasons, but it appears that the experience of failure itself, not necessarily ability, increases the risk of these problem behaviors (Jessor, 1976; Farrington, 1991). Low commitment to school (substance abuse, delinquency, teen pregnancy, and school dropout). Lack of commitment to school means the child has ceased to see the role of student as a viable one. Young people who have lost this comment to school are at higher risk for the problem behaviors listed above (Gottfredson, 1988; Johnston, O'Malley, & Bachman, 1991). Individual/Peer Risk Factors Rebelliousness (substance abuse, delinquency, and school dropout). Young people who feel they arc not part of society or are not bound by rules, who don't believe in trying to bc successful or responsible, or who take an actively rebellious stance toward society are at higher risk of drug abuse, delinquency, and school dropout (Jessor & Jessor, 1977; Kandel, 1982; Bachrnan, Lloyd, & O'Malley, 1981). Friends who engage in the problem behavior (substance abuse, delinquency, violence, teen pregnancy, and school dropout). Young pcopte who associate with peers who engage in a problem behavior--delinquency, substance abuse, violent activity, sexual activity, or dropping out of school--are much more likely to engage in the same problem behavior (Barnes & Welte, 1986; Farrmgton, 1991; CaLms, Cairns, Neckerman, Gest, & Gairepy, 1988; Elliott et al., 1989). This is one of the most consistent predictors that research has ident/fied. Even when young people come from well-managed families and do not experience other risk factors, just spending time with friends who engage in problem behaviors greatly increases the r/sk of that problem developing. Favorable attitudes toward the problem behavior (substance abuse, delinquency, teen pregnancy, and school dropout). During the elementary school years, children usually express anti-chug, anti-crime, and pro-social attitudes and have difficulty imagining why people use chugs, commit crknes, and drop out of school. However, in middle school, as others they know participate in such activities, their attitudes often shift toward greater acceptance of these behaviors. This acceptance places them at higher risk (Kandel et al., 1978; Huesmann & Eton, 1986). Early initiation of the problem behavior (substance abuse, delinquency, violence, teen pregnancy, and school dropout). The earlier PAGE 49 OF 52 Appendix young people drop out of school, use drugs, commit crimes, and become sexually active, the greater the likelihood that they will have chronic problems with these behaviors later (Ell/on et al., 1986). For example, research shows that young people who initiate drug use before the age of 15 are at twice the risk of having drug problems than those who wait until after the age of I9 (Robins & Przybeck, 1985). Constitutional factors (substance abuse, delinquency, and violence). Constitutional factors are factors that may have a biological or physiological basis (Hawkins & Lam, 1987). Tlxese factors are often seen in young people with behaviors such as sensation-seeking, low harm- avoidance, and lack of impulse control. These factors appear to increase the risk of young people abusing drugs, engaging in delinquem behavior, and/or committing violent acts.

Staffhas reviewed/addressed every point in the paper and remain committed to the implementation of the "fountainhead" concept presented to Council on August 8, 2000. In an attempt to reach consensus with the joint organizations, Staffmet with two (2) of the three (3) associations (Hotel&Motel, Resort Retailers) this past week. We attempted to personally address items in the joint letter and previous letters that were not supportive of the Oceanfront Transportation Management plan. Though the meeting tones were cordial, we do not believe that we swayed the overall organization sentiments to support the plan. Staff remains committed to the preferred alternative (fountainhead with core area one-way pair) as the most cost effective alternative and recommend approval. With Pride In Our City, J~ K.

I would like to respond to each item listed in your paper. The responses are as follows: 1. We concur and support the promotion of alternate routes into the oceanfront area, i.e., using Birdneck Road, Laskin Road, Norfolk Avenue, 17th & 19th Streets. The Laskin Road and Birdneck Road projects will serve as gateways to the Resort area, however, they will not begin construction until 2004 and 2003 respectively and each will require at least two years to complete. The tourism industry is thriving in our resort and will continue to do so. We do not want to wait for five years to begin attempts to improve traffic at the oceanfront. We would like to be proactive and initiate a demonstration project for summer 2001. 2. We concur with the creation of theme streets. Other resort areas have adopted this concept with great success. The Convention & Development Office and Public Information office can work with you on developing a marketing plan. 3. We support continuation of trolley service, an idea supported by you in the point paper. However, we do have different ideas regarding the actual implementation of this service. The past two summers, there have been dedicated trolley lanes in the resort and trolley September 22, 2000 Page 2 ridership and headways have been exceptional. Any plan that involves removing dedicated trolley lanes, thereby mixing trolleys with the background traffic, will cause problems with headways. Also, there is no room on Pacific Avenue to add a trolley lane; dedicating a trolley lane from the existing four (4) lanes on Pacific Avenue will reduce its capacity and cause severe congestion problems. 4. We support the concept of Beach Street Guards and/or a heightened Police presence on the major holiday weekends, but not for the purpose of directing traffic in the busy street intersections. Due to safety concerns regarding untrained crossing guards in the roadway, we will rely more on the use of automated traffic signal controls for management of traffic. 5. We support the concept of a boardwalk tram. The City is working with HRT and the Resort Advisory Commission to have a boardwalk tram in place by summer 2001. With the continued growth of tourism in the resort, the Oceanfront Traffic Management plan provides a means of addressing vehicular congestion at the oceanfront. Of all the transportation alternatives considered during this process, the "fountainhead" design was the least costly to implement. We continue to support this design because we feel that it provides the greatest impact with the least expenditure of capital funds. This plan involves primarily street restriping/overlay, traffic signal repositioning, and additional signing. The right of way impacts to resort businesses are minimal and no acquisition of businesses are required. Again, thank you for your letter expressing your concerns regarding conditions at the oceanfront. We share your concerns and endeavor to take prudent measures to ensure continued improvements in traffic management in the resort area. With Pride In Our City, City Manager JKS/FH/dyj C: C.

Developing the whole child Diversity holds a strong community The role and importance of family Partnering with the Community The linkages began with the Youth Plan. The first linkage is derived from the research of the Search Institute. The Institute evaluated thousands of youth based on their assets. Twenty (20) external and Twenty (20) internal assets were developed. The youth who possessed 31 to 40 of those identified assets were not involved in problem behavior, were managing well, contributing to society and succeeding as young people. Strengthening and building those assets will make young people successful. The second theoretical fi'amework was based on research entitled "Risk and Protective Factors of the Social Development Theory". Four risk factors were identified from thousands of youth: Individual, Community, School and Family. The more risk factors prevalent in a young person 's life, the more evident problem behavior. It was suggested the resources be targeted with programs to reduce these risk factors. Protected factors were identified as follows: Relationship with a caring adult Providing healthy policing and clear standards relative behavior Opportunities for youth to develop skills and be recognized for their contributions to the community America's Promise discusses the need to provide young people with skills and opportunities. Ms. Brinson advised the Community Vision for Youth: "All our Children Are Well" The Focus Areas are: Partnerships, Awareness, Health and Well-Being, Education and Training, Activities and Services; and Analysis, and Planning.

Leo Blumle, 2504 General Forrest Circle, Phone: 481-6106 Upon motion by Councilman done& seconded by Council Lady Eure, City Council ADOPTED: Ordinances re Rudee Loop (BEACH - DISTRICT 6): Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement releasing deed restrictions. AMEND the Capital Budget and APPROPRIATE $400,000 from the Tourism Growth Investment Fund (TGIF) balance to Rudee Loop Development - Phase 1 (Partia0 (#9-302)re extending the option to purchase property through September 30, 2000 Councilman Harrison clarified the newspaper article relative Rudee Loop. The article correctly indicated the funds advanced to extend the option are non-refundable; however, no where in the article was there a statement that the funds advanced did apply to the purchase price. The appropriation does apply to the purchase price. By deferring the outright purchase of the property now, the City maintains the property on the tax rolls and will collect over $100,000 a year in real estate taxes. The City believes the better option is the property remain on the tax rolls until the best use of the property is found. The City is working hard to plan for the best utilization of&is property. If the option to extend is not utilized, the City must either purchase the property, incur borrowing cost and an outlay of approximately $6.5-MILLION or the option is forfeited, losing control of the property and all the funds invested to-date.
