Harford County's office on drug control policy has had trouble making headway in the county's public school system, county administration director Mary Chance told a group of residents concerned about drug education Wednesday.
"[Drug control policy manager] Joe Ryan is more than willing to work with county schools," she said. "We are having a difficult time, I have to be honest with you, of getting our programs into the Harford County Public Schools. We would love to do more programs there."
The hearing on the county's 2013 budget drew about 50 people to Havre de Grace High School, including 17 who signed up to speak. Besides Chance, budget panel members included Harford County Executive David Craig, Treasurer Kathryn Hewitt and Budget and Management Chief Kim Spence.
One of the main topics at the hearing was drug education in the county schools, which several parents and relatives said they were promoting in light of a spate of recent heroin deaths.
