The History of the Program:In 1989, an idea was born. The City of Ontario, the Ontario Local Schools, and the Ontario Ministers created the Ontario Substance Abuse Program with the intent to reduce the illegal use of alcohol and other drugs in Ontario with community support. The program is a coordinated effort by an individual employed by the City of Ontario and the Ontario Local Schools. The person is overseen by the Mayor of Ontario and the Superintendent of Schools as well as an Ontario Advisory Board consisting of the members listed below. Together, working as one, we hope to alleviate many of the community problems associated with illegal alcohol and other drug use.
Ontario Advisory Board Members:Todd Martin - OHS Assistant Principal Donnie Strine - OHS Guidance Counselor Diane Cunningham - OMS Guidance Counselor Tod Petit - Stingel Elementary Guidance Counselor Dan Zeiter - Ontario City Council Mark Weidemyre - Ontario City Council Chief Rod Smith - Ontario Chief of Police Andy Chalk - Ontario Board of Education Nancy Morehead - Auditor, City of Ontario Randy Harvey - Treasurer, Ontario Local Schools Daryl Hall - Superintendent, Ontario Local Schools Ken Bender - Mayor, City of Ontario
