SAMHSA Grant - Executive Summary Board Meeting 3.1.2022.pdf
Quick Summary / Abstract: Staff will present the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Grant summary.
Background: Following the results of a 2015 Alameda County Health Assets & Needs Assessment, indicating that students, staff, and parents in our district ranked the behavioral health of students to be their number one concern and the least utilized service, we applied for and were awarded two highly-competitive, multi-year Mental Health Awareness Training (MHAT) grants (SAMHSA and Department of Justice (DOJ) Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA).)
Status Due to COVID-19, the Bureau of Justice Assistance grant was extended through the 2021-22 school year. The SAMHSA was a three-year grant period which ended in September, and closed in January. This report focuses on the SAMHSA grant.
Fiscal Impact Total funding received for the three year SAMHSA grant was $214,372.00.
Superintendent's Recommendation: This item is for information only and requires no action to be taken by the Board of Education.
