The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District (UCISD) in Uvalde, Texas was awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant by the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) under the STOP School Violence Program (CFDA 16.839). The purpose of the 3-year grant is to implement a holistic trauma-recovery model and provide social-emotional support for 360 students in grades 1-9 impacted by mass violence, as well as broader interventions reaching 720 students. Key project activities include hiring 4.0 FTE staff to provide cohort-based support, delivering professional development on school safety and restorative practices for 50 teachers, and implementing a service-learning prevention education program involving student-led school and community projects. The expected outcomes are reduced disciplinary incidents, increased attendance, and strengthened protective connections among the targeted student cohorts.
