    Summary

    The STOP School Violence (SSV) program seeks to increase school safety using evidence-based solutions to prevent violence against schools, staff, and students and ensure a positive school climate.

    • Train school personnel and educate students on preventing student violence against others and themselves to include anti-bullying training. This can also include specialized training for school officials to respond to mental health crises.
    • Develop and implement threat assessment and/or intervention teams to operate technology solutions such as anonymous reporting systems for threats of school violence, including mobile telephone applications, hotlines, and websites. These teams must coordinate with law enforcement agencies and school personnel.

    Eligible applicants for Categories 1 or 2 may submit one application that includes proposals for one or more of the following areas: 

    • Developing and operating technology solutions such as anonymous reporting systems for threats of school violence, including mobile telephone applications, hotlines, websites, or other school safety technology solutions
    • Develop and implement multidisciplinary behavioral threat assessment (BTA) and/or intervention teams
    • Train school personnel and educate students on preventing school violence, including strategies to improve a school climate
    • Specialized training for law enforcement who work in schools and/or with school-age populations such as school resource officers (SROs) and probation officers
    • Hiring of school support personnel such as climate specialists, school psychologists, school social workers, school-based violence interrupters, and others directly supporting the prevention of school violence.
