provides effective solutions to systemic and
chronic community problems. CAT members will
be drawn from the ranks of parental
activists, concerned school officials,
interested or often affected peers, and
local business/law enforcement officials.
CATS motivates communities to take positive
action through education, planning and
professional consultation.
