§ 25.11 Comprehensive plan. (a) A local agency intending to seek financial support from the office shall no later than July first of each year submit to the office a comprehensive substance abuse services plan, which shall describe the programs and activities planned for its ensuing fiscal year. Such plan shall indicate to the extent possible, the nature of the services to be provided, whether such services are to be provided directly, through subcontract, or through the utilization of existing public resources, the area or areas to be served, and an estimate of the cost of such services, including amounts to be provided other than by office financial support, specifically identifying the amount of local governmental funds committed to substance abuse programs during its current fiscal year, and a commitment that no less than such an amount will be used from such funds for the operation of such programs during the next fiscal year. Such plan shall make provisions for all needed substance abuse services and for the evaluation of the effectiveness of such services. (b) When a comprehensive plan includes a local school district based substance abuse program such plan shall include the details of an adequate distribution of in-school and community-wide preventive education services, including, but not limited to, services to be provided by local drug abuse prevention councils, and shall emphasize the use of other volunteer agency services as may be available. The description of the program and activities thereunder shall be separately stated, and the data and information required to be provided shall conform to the provisions of subdivision (a) of this section except that the period to be covered may, notwithstanding the fiscal year of the local agency, conform to the school year.
