2006 Texas School Survey of Drug and Alcohol Use In spring 2006, the GCISD utilized the Texas School Survey of Drug and Alcohol Use as a needs assessment tool for the GCISD Safe and Drug Free Schools Program. This survey is sponsored by the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse and implemented by the Public Policy Research Institute at Texas A&M. It has been administered to students in the GCISD every other year since 1998. In 2006, a random sample of 4th through 12th grade students were selected to participate in the survey. The presentation on this website represents some of the findings from the 2006 survey. The slides provide information comparing GCISD data over the last eight years across specific grade levels and in comparison with state data. All data are represented by percentages and are presented in bar and line graph form. Although, steps have been taken to try and maintain the validity of the survey, sampling error and the limitations of student self-reports can impact the survey findings. Survey administrators recommend that specific attention should be focused on data differences of five or more percentage points. Again, the purpose of the survey is to provide direction concerning substance abuse prevention planning in the GCISD. We hope that this information will also be of value to you as you plan discussions with your child regarding drug, alcohol and tobacco use. If you are interested in other substance abuse prevention resources, or if you have any questions or comments concerning the survey, please contact Robin Davis at (817) 305-4783. Respectfully, Robin
