It's unclear exactly which programs will be cut, but almost all prevention programs are threatened, said Samantha Heinrich, Kyrene's assistant director of prevention services. "Right now everything is under the ax," said Heinrich, whose position will be eliminated as a result of the cuts."I'm hoping by next week we'll have a better idea of what (programs) we can keep and what we can't."

She added, "Everything is going to be affected."
...
Certain to be affected, Heinrich said, will be district anti-bullying efforts, such as the series of parent training seminars hosted by prevention specialist Cara English earlier this year.
...
"As far as staff resources, to be able to implement parent training and workshops, we will not have that," Heinrich said.
...
Heinrich said the district will be able to classify some programs as extracurricular activities, allowing them to be funded through tax credit benefits and charitable contributions.Apart from that, though, she said the only real hope to save the programs would be the Kyrene Schools Community Foundation (www.kyrene.org/kscf). "That's what our best hope to sustain these services will be," Heinrich said.

Funded with the federal Safe Schools/Healthy Students grant, the event gives Kyrene the opportunity to bring the various organizations that help support keeping children safe, healthy and on the path to academic success, said Samantha Heinrich, director of prevention services for Kyrene.It is also another venue though which the district can bond with their communities and inform them about what kind of services and programs are alive and well in their neighborhood schools.

Families will have access to beneficial information on community resources, physical, mental and behavioral wellness, safety information and other vital information key to student success in school and in their community.

Heinrich said a number of representatives will be on hand not only to provide information, but also offer hands-on activities to entertain all family members.
