The Homedale Safe Schools Project (HSSP) is a $844,846 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance under the STOP School Violence program (CFDA 16.839). The three-year grant will fund the Homedale School District, a rural Idaho school district, to implement school-wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) with a focus on enhancing school safety across its three school sites.
The grant will provide training and support for school staff and local law enforcement to create safe, secure, and positive learning environments. Key initiatives include building mental health awareness and literacy, fostering student resiliency, and implementing culturally relevant, equitable, and trauma-sensitive practices. Additionally, the funding will help bridge gaps in access to mental health support and collect reliable school climate data to inform decision-making. This comprehensive approach aims to have a lasting positive impact on the Homedale community, its schools, and students.
