Summary

Anti-Drug Education Act of 1990 - Declares it to be the responsibility of the Federal Government to: (1) prevent and reduce student abuse of alcohol and illicit drugs by expanding and improving drug abuse education, prevention, and counseling services in the schools and by providing students with positive alternative activities after school hours; and (2) help ensure the safety of students on school grounds and on their way to and from school by expanding cooperative efforts with local law enforcement officials, and establishing drug-free school zones. Amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to provide for cancellation of debt for direct student loans under the Perkins Loan Program in exchange for service as a full-time local, State, or Federal law enforcement officer. Amends the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1986 (the Act) to require that drug-free school zones have specified characteristics. Authorizes a program for replication of successful drug abuse education programs. Reserves certain amounts under the Act for such program. Authorizes the Secretary of Education (the Secretary), under such program, to make grants to local educational agencies (LEAs) or consortia of LEAs and private nonprofit entities to provide drug abuse education, prevention, intervention, or counseling services to students in kindergarten through grade 12. Authorizes the use of local drug abuse education and prevention funds for before- and after-school programs for unsupervised children that include drug and alcohol abuse prevention instruction, including optional athletic, creative, and other activities for at-risk youth as alternatives to such abuse. Authorizes the Secretary to make a grant to any private nonprofit agency that has an agreement with an LEA to provide training in drug abuse counseling for individuals who will provide such counseling in the LEA's schools. Requires that at least half of specified training funds be used for grants to training counselors, social workers, psychologists, or nurses who are providing or being training to provide drug abuse prevention, intervention, counseling, or referral services in schools. Increases the amount authorized to be appropriated for training grants and for emergency grants. Requires LEAs applying for grants to demonstrate, to the extent practicable, how grant assistance will be: (1) used to provide drug abuse counseling services to children of all ages, including elementary school students; and (2) coordinated with local law enforcement agencies in school security and drug abuse education activities. Requires that local recipients of funds clearly identify any assisted program as a Federal program funded under the Act.
