This $1,000,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance (CFDA 16.839 - STOP School Violence) will allow the China Spring Independent School District (ISD) to enhance its implementation of evidence-based Behavioral Threat Assessment (BTA) teams across the district. Specifically, the funding will be used to develop and deliver eLearning training modules and interactive virtual/in-person team training to build knowledge and skills in threat assessment and suicide prevention for school personnel. Additionally, the district will acquire case management software to better document, assess, and implement harm reduction plans for at-risk students. These tools will be phased in over a 36-month period to strengthen the district's multidisciplinary threat assessment capabilities and support a comprehensive approach to school violence prevention and intervention. The award period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.
