13. CITIZENS' FORUM: REQUESTS, PETITIONS & OTHER COMMUNICATIONS
13A. Ilia Usharovich said that he saw there is a college scholarship being established, and there are
a lot of students who are not going to college, they will become mechanics, vocational type
of students, and that leaves them behind from this program. They don't have any incentive to
stay free from drugs because they are not going to college. He urged the Commission to
come up with other ways in order to encourage the students that are not going to college to
have a chance and to stay drug free.
Commissioner Brezin said that is an excellent point but we should be a little more informed
in th!lt area as to the comparison, how many children are we talking about, what percentage
of the graduates are we talking about. Ifwe are talking about 4 or 5 children it is difficult to
initiate an entire program based on that. There may be other areas where those children can
be helped.
