measurements of children, parents, and teachers who have received
this education.

injuries.

and alcohol abuse services.

long-range goals.

applies for state or local assistance funds for drug and alcohol
abuse efforts in their program, may address, to the extent possible,

master plan established pursuant to subdivision (b), and funding
priority may be given to those entities which address these goals
within their respective programs.
(d) The Governor shall designate one state agency to act as the
lead agency on all drug and alcohol abuse matters.
(e) Every state agency that contracts or grants money to local
jurisdictions or programs for drug and alcohol abuse services shall

county drug and alcohol abuse master plan, to the extent a plan has
been adopted pursuant to subdivision (b).

drug and alcohol abuse master plans.

all drug and alcohol abuse programs provided or funded by the state.
