The Guardian Program represents a unique collaboration/partnership between the Putnam County School District and the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office. This program is designed to reduce the number of criminal referrals to the Juvenile Justice System and to create a safe school environment to deter students from participation in delinquent behavior and motivate youth to be educationally driven and reduce truancy, suspension and expulsion. High-risk youth will be given intensive case management with wrap-around services on an individual basis after assessing the students’ needs. Individuals served by this program will be from Beasley Middle School and Crescent City Jr./Sr. High School. Program Components include:

 · Offering various trainings to faculty and staff

· Launching a “Living Violence Free” campaign

· Establishing an Anti-Crime Task Team (ACT Team)
