School emergency response to violence (project serv)

The Dallas Independent School District received a $336,500 Project Grant from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the School Safely National Activities program (CFDA 84.184), with an award date of August 1, 2025, and completion date of June 30, 2026. Through the School Emergency Response to Violence (Project SERV) initiative, the grant supports emergency response and recovery services for schools and school communities impacted by violent incidents. Project SERV typically provides immediate crisis assistance, counseling services, and other support mechanisms to help students, staff, and families address the trauma and disruption resulting from school-based violence.

The funding aligns with the broader program objective to improve student safety and well-being during and after the school day. The School Safely National Activities program prioritizes mental health service delivery and workforce development in high-need local educational agencies, with recent awards ranging from $235,000 to $1.1 million. Dallas ISD's award demonstrates the district's ongoing capacity to administer federally-funded initiatives addressing critical student needs and community safety concerns across its service area in Dallas, Texas.
