The U.S. Department of Education will award three-year grants on a competitive basis. This program would streamline the application process by enabling eligible applicants to apply once for funds that can be used to support a variety of different activities leading to the creation of safer schools. A single application signed by the heads of the LEA, local law enforcement, and the community mental health agency would be submitted for funding.
LEAs are eligible to receive funds for all three purposes.
Approximately four workshops will be held in various locations across the country.
