This study examines how state
departments of education and school districts that have received
multiple federal grants coordinate the activities across those
grants. U.S. Department of Education-funded School Climate
Transformation Grants aim to improve school safety by supporting
schools in the implementation of an evidence-based, multi-tiered
system of behavioral support. Department of Health and Human
Services-supported Project AWARE grants aim to increase access to
mental health services by training adults to notice signs of
behavioral health distress and intervene appropriately. Department
of Justice-funded School Justice Collaboration Program grants
supports courts’ collaboration with schools to implement diversion
and similar programs to minimize juvenile detention. The study will
explore the nature of coordination across grants, the perceived
value of coordination, and challenges and lessons learned.
