The New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services has announced an award of more than $1.6 million in funding to help teachers across the state implement the PAX Good Behavior Game Program, an initiative that will equip students with the skills necessary to reduce risk factors associated with drug use and addiction.
Locally, CASA Trinity will receive about $91,000. The funding will help with the proposed implementation in 22 classrooms across two schools in Owego and Apalachin serving students in 1st through 3rd grade.
