Drug Free Communities of Fond du Lac County’s youth action team is fighting prescription drug abuse. Students Taking Action Against Negative Decisions or STAAND will participate in National Drug Facts Week starting Monday, January 23 through next Friday. The STAAND groups in Fond du Lac, Campbellsport, North Fond du Lac and Ripon along with Fond du Lac middle schools, will be sharing information throughout the week about prescription drug abuse. A 2014 survey showed one out of 20 Fond du Lac School District 8th, 10th, and 11th grade students reported using prescription medication that was not prescribed to them in the past 30 days.
