Congressman Hal Rogers Announces Funding For Pike county Schools To Combat Alcohol Abuse.
U.S. Rep. Harold “Hal” Rogers (KY-05) announced today that the Pike County Board of Education will receive nearly $250,000 to reduce alcohol abuse in area high schools, emphasizing its health effects and the dangers of binge drinking.
“As kids get to high school, alcohol becomes all too easily abused,” said Rogers. “While a lot of our focus is on illegal drug use, we must not forget that alcohol is legal for adults, widely available and is certainly a factor in what is called ‘substance abuse.’”
