The School District of Philadelphia was awarded a $5,027,486 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Education Innovation and Research program (CFDA 84.411) to scale up a multi-tiered, schoolwide restorative approach. The grant, awarded January 1, 2023 and running through December 31, 2027, will support expanding the district's Relationships First model to additional schools. This evidence-based framework uses restorative practices to improve student achievement and attainment for high-need students through relationship building and alternative disciplinary methods. The School District will deliver professional development and technical assistance to incorporate the multi-tiered restorative approach system-wide. This award aims to further the Education Innovation and Research program's goal of developing and testing innovative practices that can ultimately be adopted more broadly.
