Project LEAD (Legal Enrichment and Decision Making)

Project LEAD is an effective law-related education program established in El Dorado County by the Office of the District Attorney in 2016.  The 20 week curriculum teaches fifth grade students about the criminal justice system and the importance of making good decisions.  Volunteer's from within the District Attorney's office and partner agencies are instructors for the program and serve as role models in the classroom.  

District Attorney Nora Hall jump started the program this week with our local sheriff officer Deputy Adams.  Each week the students will get a new lesson building up to the culminating court visit we will make to a court room in Placerville later this year.  I have attached a summary of the weekly lessons if you would like to see what we are learning about each week.
