In a quite innovative program, Bedford-Stuyvesant Preparatory High School in Brooklyn, N.Y. will make 500 condoms available at their June 7th prom.  School principal Darryl Rascoe said, "students are welcome to take the condoms as they leave the prom, no questions asked.  Students are not required to take them, but the option is available."

Worries about underage drinking or risky sex on prom night have prompted scores of prevention programs at schools around the country, from scheduling the event on weeknights to chaperoned after-parties.  The prom condom distribution plan will be accompanied by a safe sex school assembly sponsored by the condom maker a few days before the prom. An essay contest on the topic of safe sex will be judged by the school’s English department.

NV Healthcare, who manufactors the Nuvo brand condoms, has offered the program to other schools.  Bredford-Stuyvesant in the first school to take advantage of the program. 

Sounds like a good idea to me.
