Districts and schools can use Stronger Connections Grant funds to support their local health and safety needs, including student wellness and mental health.
All school districts and community schools that applied for the Stronger Connections Grant received a Tier 1 or Tier 2 award based on health and safety factors collected from data, including rates of poverty, chronic absenteeism, and exclusionary discipline.
Eligible schools and districts that demonstrated the highest need and applied for additional funding received an additional Tier 3 amount. The Tier 3 grantees collaborated with local stakeholders and community partners to determine the health and safety needs of their communities and plan for use of funds to support students and educators.
The Stronger Connections Grant Awards have been released to school districts and community schools through the Department’s Comprehensive Continuous Improvement Plan e-grant system. “It is critical for students to enter a positive, safe and supportive learning environment each day as they explore, discover, and achieve,” said Dr. Chris Woolard, Interim Superintendent of Public Instruction. “The Stronger Connections grant helps schools to continue addressing challenges that impact a child’s learning so students can focus on reaching success.”
