Overview
PLEASE NOTE: This program is not currently accepting applications for funding.
This funding opportunity supports Massachusetts school districts and charter schools in the development and operation of school threat assessment and crisis intervention teams that include coordination with law enforcement agencies and school personnel. This program is designed to improve school security by providing students and teachers with the tools they need to recognize, respond quickly to, and prevent acts of violence. With this funding opportunity, the Commonwealth aims to assist local school districts with reviewing and updating their school threat assessment plans and provide resources to support training for the development of local crisis intervention teams.
These funds may also be used to support specialized training for school officials in intervening and responding to individuals with mental health issues that may impact school safety.
This one-time program was made available through federal funding.
