In the increasing struggle for class time, finding time for a prevention specialist to enter a classroom to instructor multiple prevention programs, in order to effectively address drugs, violence and gangs becomes a challenge.
If schools or law enforcement agencies institute these programs, other disciplines that are important to the school might be affected. School Administrators may express not express concern with one program, but may become hesitant at more than that.
The balance between Education and Prevention programs is a constant state of fluctuation. The GATE program offers all three areas bundled into one program: gangs, violence and drugs.
