Extends through FY 2005 the authorization of appropriations for such title IV, including: (1) part A subpart 1, State grants for drug and violence prevention programs; and (2) part A subpart 2, national programs. Authorizes appropriations for a National Coordinator Program Initiative. Revises requirements relating to State and local educational agency (SEA and LEA) programs. Requires SEAs, LEAs, and Governors, when developing program applications, to consult with advisory councils established at the State and local levels. Requires the independent biennial evaluation to report on whether funded community and LEA programs have: (1) provided a thorough assessment of the substance abuse and violence problem; (2) used objective data and the knowledge of a wide range of community members; (3) developed measurable goals and objectives; (4) implemented effective research-based programs; (5) conducted and used periodic program evaluations; (6) targeted relevant research-based variables or risk factors predictive of drug use, violence, or dropping out of school, and targeted protective factors, buffers, or assets that are known to protect children and youth from exposure to such risk; (7) appreciably reduced the level of drug, alcohol and tobacco use and school violence and the presence of firearms at schools; and (8) conducted effective parent involvement and voluntary training programs. Revises requirements relating to national programs, including specified Federal activities as well as grants for local hate crime prevention.
