Community Resources
Since 1989, The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has conducted a biennial survey of youth in the 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th grades to gather information about their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors towards alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use to help communities address root causes of antisocial behavior. The “Pennsylvania Youth Survey” or “PAYS” is conducted every other year, in the fall of odd-numbered years.Please see below for the most recent 2019 PAYS data specific to the Downingtown Area School District.
The DASD 2019 PAYS Report summary is also available here.

We don’t know what we don’t know. In this ever evolving world, it can be hard to stay on top of the current drug trends or mental health tips. CTC works hard to provide current, reliable information through our Parent Speaker Series collaboration with Downingtown Area School District, which you can find below. We also work with community partners who regularly share new information in webinar formats, which you can also find below.
