ation of the laws working in rhode island mostly because our organization and the rhode island coalition against domestic violence from even before we have a law assed stepped up to the trait and said we will be able to provide free training. so there was no money when it was passed. the drawback in other states is that many states have good intentions, but their were concerned especially in the hard economic times about the cost of training. i've gotten calls even this week from the state of ohio, in new mexico, asking how we implement lindsay's law, what was the specifics and costs involved. i think for it to be successfully implemented we have to have funding. there's no way of getting around that. i also believe very strongly as an educator that we need to pass lindsay's law maintaining all the components. it would be a very severe drawback to educate the students and not have the staff educated at the same time. i think we wouldn't want to leave the parents out either. i think you need to educate all three. i don't think it takes a great deal of funding. not as much as perhaps most
