What are the Goals of the SS/HS (Safe Schools Healthy Students Grant)?

The Federal and State Agencies overseeing this grant have created very specific guidelines for the spending of grant

dollars and an extensive amount of time was spent assessing our community’s strengths and needs. The outcomes of

this assessment were compiled and from that, the following plan has been developed.

The goals include:

1. Improve Early Childhood Emotional Learning and Development- Developing children’s so-

cial and emotional skills that will lay the foundation for future healthy interpersonal relationships,

association with non-violent peers, and improved academic achievement.

2. Promoting Mental, Emotional and Behavioral Health

Increase access to mental health services for students and families on site at all 8 school buildings.

3. Connecting Families, Schools, and Communities

Increase students, families, community members and agencies in planning and implementing pro-

grams and activities that assist students.

4. Preventing Behavioral Health Problems (including Substance Abuse)

Provide programs to prevent or reduce substance abuse and improve student’s behavior and aca-

demic success.

5. Creating Violence Free Schools

Identifying and addressing issues, conditions, behaviors, and structures that contributes to unsafe

school environments, bullying and violence in schools.
