EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Health Services Department has received notification from the State of California, Tobacco Control Program, that grant funding for Fiscal Year 2017-2018 is available.
During the course of this grant, the Health Services Department will be working alongside our community and school partners to, among other things, collaborate, identify and plan educational activities, focus on changing strategies rather than individual behaviors and continue to promote the statewide toll-free number for the California Smoker’s Helpline and the Stop Tobacco Access to Kids Enforcement (STAKE) Act.
Health Services, as the Local Lead Agency, is required under California’s Health and Safety Code to provide a Tobacco Education Program. We are requesting Board approval to submit a grant application for Fiscal Year 2017-2018 and authorize the Director of Health Services to sign.
If you should have any questions, please contact me at 263-1090.
