(a) The General Assembly finds that: <br /> 12 (1) Growing numbers of children live in conditions that place them at <br /> 13 risk of school failure; <br /> 14 (2) The provision of school and support services to these children and <br /> 15 their families by, public and nonprofit agencies is fragmented and <br /> 16 does not prepare these children to learn effectively and have a <br /> 17 successful school experience; <br /> 18 (3) The lack of collaboration among schools, families, local agencies, <br /> 19 and other groups involved in family support and youth <br /> 20 development activities results in the inefficient and ineffective use <br /> 21 of resources to meet the needs of these children; <br /> 22 (4) Schools are dedicating an increasing amount of their time and <br /> 23 resources to responding to disruptive and violent behavior rather <br /> 24 than fulfilling their mission to challenge with high expectations <br /> 25 each child to learn, to achieve, and to fulfill his or her potential; <br /> 26 (5) The relationships between school failure, disruptive and violent <br /> 27 behavior in schools, unemployment, and criminal behavior are <br /> 28 clear; <br /> 29 (6) Responding to the needs of students who are at risk of school <br /> 30 failure and providing for a safe and secure learning environment <br /> 31 are cost-effective because it enables the State to substitute <br /> 32 preventive measures for expensive crisis interv-ention; and <br /> 33 (7) Differing .local needs and local resources necessitate the <br /> 34 development of locally generated, community-based plans that <br /> 35 coordinate and leverage existing resources, not the imposition of <br /> 36 uniform and infle dble, State-mandated plans; <br /> 37 therefore, of the funds appropriated to Aid to Local School Administrative Units by <br /> 38 this act, the sum-of twelve aulliot► dollars (512,000,000) shall be used for the 1994-95 <br /> 39 fiscal year to implement the Intervention/Frevention Grant Program for North <br /> 40 Carolina School Children. <br /> 41 (b) Article 16 of Chapter 115C of the General Statutes is amended by <br /> 42 adding a new Part to read: <br /> 43 "Pere 8.
