The Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program awarded Golden Eagle Charter School $327,195 on October 1, 2025, under the School Violence Prevention Program (CFDA 16.071) to implement evidence-based school safety improvements at the school's Mt Shasta, California location through September 30, 2028.

The School Violence Prevention Program authorizes funding for coordination with local law enforcement, training for officers to prevent student violence, placement of physical security measures including metal detectors and improved lighting, acquisition and installation of emergency notification technology, and other security improvements approved by the COPS Office Director. Golden Eagle Charter School will deploy these funds to enhance security at its school grounds and implement comprehensive violence prevention programs developed in consultation with law enforcement, mental health professionals, school personnel, parents, students, and other stakeholders.

The recipient must submit semiannual programmatic performance reports and quarterly federal financial reports, participate in COPS Office monitoring activities including site visits and compliance reviews, and complete a final closeout report upon project completion. Award decisions are final and not subject to appeal; extensions beyond the three-year award period may be granted on a case-by-case basis for up to twelve additional months upon director approval.

Funding under this award program will be used by the school jurisdiction to implement evidence-based programs to improve school security.
