The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) Health Education Programs (HEP) provides curriculum and support services to schools through two entitlements: Title IV, Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Tobacco Use Prevention Education (TUPE) for students in grades 4-8. The HEP office also has written grants to provide curriculum and services for the Senior High TUPE program, the HIV/AIDS Program for secondary students, and the Middle School Drug Prevention and Safety Program for 14 middle schools. In addition, the HEP office provides support for Project 10 services.
Title IV, Safe and Drug-Free Schools Programs (SDFD):
The Safe and Drug-Free Schools Program is the Federal government's primary vehicle for reducing drug, alcohol and tobacco use, and violence, through education and prevention activities in our schools. This program is designed to prevent violence in and around schools, and strengthen programs that prevent the illegal use of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs, involve parents, and are coordinated with related Federal, State and community efforts and resources.
Elementary Programs:
Second Step: A Violence Prevention Program
Too Good For Drugs
Lessons In Character*
(Although not a research-validated program, Lessons in Character provides some compliance for Title IV because it uses research-validated strategies and activities that are approved by the state. Lessons in Character may be continued as a program, but it can not replace Too Good for Drugs and Second Step.)

TOBACCO USE PREVENTION EDUCATION (TUPE) MISSION:
TUPE is the Los Angeles Unified School District’s tobacco education program to reduce tobacco use among students in Grades K—12. This will be done by:
- exposing tobacco industry tactics.
- creating a smoke-free environment in the workplace and at home.
- providing smoking cessation workshops for students as well as adults.
- using research-based educational programs to teach both the long and short term affects of tobacco.
- providing training for teacher, parents, families, and community members in support of tobacco use prevention education programs.
