This $1,000,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) under the STOP School Violence Program (CFDA 16.839) will support Communities In Schools of Central Texas (CIS) in implementing an integrated system of student supports to address youth violence in the San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District. The funded project aims to proactively address youth violence and victimization through a multi-layered approach that includes providing individualized case management, clinical mental health services, supportive group counseling, and a male student achievement program. Additionally, CIS will offer professional development on trauma-informed and restorative practices for school staff, facilitate family engagement activities, and lead a school safety strategic planning process involving community stakeholders. The expected outcomes include creating an evidence-based, integrated system of supports on the target campuses and improving student attendance, behavior, and academic performance.
