Three Grants Opportunities that Could be Integrated into Efforts to Build a Comprehensive System of Learning Supports

There are three currently available grants from the U. S. Department of Education that might be helpful in strengthening a comprehensive system of learning support. In considering these grants, use the opportunity to pull together key staff to review what is being done already and what still is needed to support all students. The question to be explored with respect to these grants is: How might each fit into the core of your learning supports system and help to build capacity and infrastructure that will sustain the work long after the grant period ends?

All three grants are from the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools, U. S. Department of Education. Here is an excerpt from the email announcement sent by OSDFS:
