Riverside Unified School District, in response to increased suspensions and expulsions related to substance use, recognized the need for intervention. A multidisciplinary committee was formed to revise the district's disciplinary policy regarding marijuana and alcohol. Through the work of the committee, a subgroup of SAP Counselors worked together to create curriculum for the student Drug Diversion Program. The goal of the program is to reduce expulsions as well as provide psychoeducation to reduce and/or eliminate marijuana and alcohol use. Students are provided the option to attend 3 classes for a total of 12 hours. Classes are taught primarily by SAP Counselors.
