I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: Grants for the
Integration of Schools and Mental
Health Systems will provide funds to
increase student access to high-quality
mental health care by developing
innovative approaches that link school
systems with the local mental health
system.
Priority: In accordance with 34 CFR
75.105(b)(2)(iv), this priority is from
section 5541 of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965, as
amended (ESEA) (20 U.S.C. 7269).
Absolute Priority: For FY 2007 and
any subsequent year in which we make
awards based on the list of unfunded
applications from this competition, this
priority is an absolute priority. Under 34
CFR 75.105(c)(3) we consider only
applications that meet this priority.
This priority is:
Increasing student access to quality
mental health care by developing
innovative approaches to link local

14088
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 57 / Monday, March 26, 2007 / Notices
school systems with the local mental
health system. A program funded under
this absolute priority must include all of
the following activities:
(1) Enhancing, improving, or
developing collaborative efforts between
school-based service systems and
mental health service systems to
provide, enhance, or improve
prevention, diagnosis, and treatment
services to students.
(2) Enhancing the availability of crisis
intervention services, appropriate
referrals for students potentially in need
of mental health services, and ongoing
mental health services.
(3) Providing training for the school
personnel and mental health
professionals who will participate in the
program.
(4) Providing technical assistance and
consultation to school systems and
mental health agencies and families
participating in the program.
(5) Providing linguistically
appropriate and culturally competent
services.
(6) Evaluating the effectiveness of the
program in increasing student access to
quality mental health services, and
making recommendations to the
Secretary about sustainability of the
program.
Additional Requirements: The
following requirements are from the
Notice of Final Requirements for this
program, published in the Federal
Register on May 30, 2006 (71 FR 30780).
cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
Requirement 1—Coordination of
Activities
Recipients of a grant under the Grants
for the Integration of Schools and
Mental Health Systems program are
required to coordinate project activities
with projects funded under the
Department of Health and Human
Services’’ Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
Mental Health Transformation State
Infrastructure Grants (MHTSIG) program
(CFDA 93.243), if a grantee’s State
receives a MHTSIG award. If a recipient
of a grant under the Grants for the
Integration of Schools and Mental
Health Systems program has received or
receives a grant under the Department of
Education’s Emergency Response and
Crisis Management (ERCM) program
(CFDA 84.184E), the recipient must
coordinate mental health service
activities under this grant with those
planned under its ERCM grant. Projects
funded by this program must
complement, rather than duplicate,
existing or ongoing efforts.

Jkt 211001
Requirement 2—Safe Schools/Healthy
Students Recipients Excluded From
Receiving Awards
Former or current recipients under
the Safe Schools/Healthy Students
program (CFDA 84.184L) are not eligible
to receive a Grant for the Integration of
Schools and Mental Health Systems.
Recipients of Safe Schools/Healthy
Students awards are responsible for
completing a scope of work under that
program that is very similar to the
activities required under the Grants for
the Integration of Schools and Mental
Health Systems program. By restricting
the applicant pool to eliminate former
or current grantees under the Safe
Schools/Healthy Students program, we
will be able to focus Federal funds on
entities that have not yet received
Federal support to develop and
implement strong linkages with other
entities in their communities for the
provision of mental health services to
students.
Applicants may compete for both the
Grants for the Integration of Schools and
Mental Health Systems and Safe
Schools/Healthy Students programs in
the same year; if applicants are deemed
eligible for funding in both grant
competitions, the applicant will receive
the larger and more comprehensive of
the awards.
Requirement 3—Preliminary
Interagency Agreement
Applicants for an award under the
Grants for the Integration of Schools and
Mental Health Systems program must
develop and submit with their
applications a preliminary interagency
agreement (IAA). The IAA must contain
the signatures of an authorized
representative of at least (1) one or more
State or local educational agencies or
Indian tribes; (2) one or more juvenile
justice authorities; and (3) one or more
State or local public mental health
agencies. This preliminary IAA would
confirm the commitment of these
partners to complete the work under the
proposed project, if funded. If the
applicant is funded, recipients will
complete a final IAA as required by
section 5541(e) of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965, as
amended (ESEA). The final IAA must be
completed and submitted to us, signed
by all parties, no later than 12 months
after the award date.
Applications that do not include the
proposed preliminary IAA with all of
the required signatures will be rejected
and not be considered for funding.

Requirement 4—Inclusion of Parental
Consent Considerations in Final IAA
The final Interagency Agreement
(IAA) must include a description of
policies and procedures that would
ensure appropriate parental or caregiver
consent for any planned services,
pursuant to State or local laws or other
requirements.
Requirement 5—Provision of Direct
Services
Grant funds under this program must
not be used to provide direct services to
students.
Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 7269.

2. Administrative and National Policy
Requirements: We identify
administrative and national policy
requirements in the application package
and reference these and other
requirements in the Applicable
Regulations section of this notice.
We reference the regulations outlining
the terms and conditions of an award in
the Applicable Regulations section of
this notice and include these and other
specific conditions in the GAN. The
GAN also incorporates your approved
application as part of your binding
commitments under the grant.
3. Reporting: At the end of your
project period, you must submit a final
performance report, including financial
information, as directed by the
Secretary. You must also submit an
interim progress report twelve months
after the award date. This report should
provide the most current performance
and financial expenditure information,
including baseline data.
4. Performance Measures: The
Secretary has established the following
key performance measures for assessing
the effectiveness of the Grants for the
Integration of Schools and Mental
Health Systems program:
a. The percentage of schools served by
the grant that have comprehensive,
detailed linkage protocols in place; and
b. The percentage of school personnel
served by the grant who are trained to
make appropriate referrals to mental
health services.
These two measures constitute the
Department’s measures of success for
this program. Consequently, applicants
for a grant under this program are
advised to give careful consideration to
these two measures in conceptualizing
the approach and evaluation of their
proposed project. If funded, applicants
will be asked to collect and report data
in their performance and final reports
about progress toward these measures.
The Secretary will also use this
information to respond to the evaluation
requirements concerning this program
established in Section 5541(f) of the
ESEA. For specific requirements on
grantee reporting, please go to https://
www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/

Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: Grants for the Integration of Schools and
Mental Health Systems will provide funds to increase student access to
high-quality mental health care by developing innovative approaches
that link school systems with the local mental health system.
Priority: In accordance with 34 CFR 75.105(b)(2)(iv), this priority
is from section 5541 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of
1965, as amended (ESEA) (20 U.S.C. 7269).
Absolute Priority: For FY 2007 and any subsequent year in which we
make awards based on the list of unfunded applications from this
competition, this priority is an absolute priority. Under 34 CFR
75.105(c)(3) we consider only applications that meet this priority.
This priority is:
Increasing student access to quality mental health care by
developing innovative approaches to link local
[[Page 14088]]
school systems with the local mental health system. A program funded
under this absolute priority must include all of the following
activities:
(1) Enhancing, improving, or developing collaborative efforts
between school-based service systems and mental health service systems
to provide, enhance, or improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment
services to students.
(2) Enhancing the availability of crisis intervention services,
appropriate referrals for students potentially in need of mental health
services, and ongoing mental health services.
(3) Providing training for the school personnel and mental health
professionals who will participate in the program.
(4) Providing technical assistance and consultation to school
systems and mental health agencies and families participating in the
program.
(5) Providing linguistically appropriate and culturally competent
services.
(6) Evaluating the effectiveness of the program in increasing
student access to quality mental health services, and making
recommendations to the Secretary about sustainability of the program.
Additional Requirements: The following requirements are from the
Notice of Final Requirements for this program, published in the Federal
Register on May 30, 2006 (71 FR 30780).
Requirement 1--Coordination of Activities
Recipients of a grant under the Grants for the Integration of
Schools and Mental Health Systems program are required to coordinate
project activities with projects funded under the Department of Health
and Human Services'' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration's Mental Health Transformation State Infrastructure
Grants (MHTSIG) program (CFDA 93.243), if a grantee's State receives a
MHTSIG award. If a recipient of a grant under the Grants for the
Integration of Schools and Mental Health Systems program has received
or receives a grant under the Department of Education's Emergency
Response and Crisis Management (ERCM) program (CFDA 84.184E), the
recipient must coordinate mental health service activities under this
grant with those planned under its ERCM grant. Projects funded by this
program must complement, rather than duplicate, existing or ongoing
efforts.
Requirement 2--Safe Schools/Healthy Students Recipients Excluded From
Receiving Awards
Former or current recipients under the Safe Schools/Healthy
Students program (CFDA 84.184L) are not eligible to receive a Grant for
the Integration of Schools and Mental Health Systems. Recipients of
Safe Schools/Healthy Students awards are responsible for completing a
scope of work under that program that is very similar to the activities
required under the Grants for the Integration of Schools and Mental
Health Systems program. By restricting the applicant pool to eliminate
former or current grantees under the Safe Schools/Healthy Students
program, we will be able to focus Federal funds on entities that have
not yet received Federal support to develop and implement strong
linkages with other entities in their communities for the provision of
mental health services to students.
Applicants may compete for both the Grants for the Integration of
Schools and Mental Health Systems and Safe Schools/Healthy Students
programs in the same year; if applicants are deemed eligible for
funding in both grant competitions, the applicant will receive the
larger and more comprehensive of the awards.
Requirement 3--Preliminary Interagency Agreement
Applicants for an award under the Grants for the Integration of
Schools and Mental Health Systems program must develop and submit with
their applications a preliminary interagency agreement (IAA). The IAA
must contain the signatures of an authorized representative of at least
(1) one or more State or local educational agencies or Indian tribes;
(2) one or more juvenile justice authorities; and (3) one or more State
or local public mental health agencies. This preliminary IAA would
confirm the commitment of these partners to complete the work under the
proposed project, if funded. If the applicant is funded, recipients
will complete a final IAA as required by section 5541(e) of the
Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA). The
final IAA must be completed and submitted to us, signed by all parties,
no later than 12 months after the award date.
Applications that do not include the proposed preliminary IAA with
all of the required signatures will be rejected and not be considered
for funding.
Requirement 4--Inclusion of Parental Consent Considerations in Final
IAA
The final Interagency Agreement (IAA) must include a description of
policies and procedures that would ensure appropriate parental or
caregiver consent for any planned services, pursuant to State or local
laws or other requirements.
Requirement 5--Provision of Direct Services
Grant funds under this program must not be used to provide direct
services to students.
Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 7269.
Applicable Regulations: (a) The Education Department General
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) in 34 CFR parts 74, 75, 77, 79, 80,
81, 82, 84, 85, 97, 98, 99, and 299. (b) The notice of final
requirements for this program published in the Federal Register on May
30, 2006 (71 FR 30780).
Note: The regulations in 34 CFR part 79 apply to all applicants
except federally recognized Indian tribes.
II. Award Information
Type of Award: Discretionary grants.
Estimated Available Funds: $4,521,346. Contingent upon the
availability of funds and the quality of applications, we may make
additional awards later in FY 2007 and in FY 2008 from the list of
unfunded applications from this competition.
Estimated Range of Awards: $150,000-$350,000.
Estimated Average Size of Awards: $250,000.
Estimated Number of Awards: 18.
Note: The Department is not bound by any estimates in this
notice.
Project Period: Up to 18 months.
III. Eligibility Information
1. Eligible Applicants: SEAs, LEAs, and Indian tribes. Additional
eligibility requirements are listed elsewhere in this notice under
section I. Funding Opportunity Description, Additional Requirements.

in accordance with section 5541(i) of the ESEA.

a. Electronic Submission of Applications.
To comply with the President's Management Agenda, we are
participating as a partner in the Governmentwide Grants.gov Apply site.
The Grants for the Integration of Schools and Mental Health Systems
Program, CFDA 215M, is included in this project. We request your
participation in Grants.gov.
If you choose to submit your application electronically, you must
use the Governmentwide Grants.gov Apply site at https://www.Grants.gov.
Through this site, you will be able to download a copy of the
application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit
your application. You may not e-mail an electronic copy of a grant
application to us.
You may access the electronic grant application for the Grants for
the Integration of Schools and Mental Health Systems at https://
www.Grants.gov. You must search for the downloadable application
package for this program or competition by the CFDA number. Do not
include the CFDA number's alpha suffix in your search (e.g., search for
84.215, not 84.215M).
Please note the following:
Your participation in Grants.gov is voluntary.
When you enter the Grants.gov site, you will find
information about submitting an application electronically through the
site, as well as the hours of operation.
Applications received by Grants.gov are date and time
stamped. Your application must be fully uploaded and submitted and must
be date and time stamped by the Grants.gov system no later than 4:30
p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline date. Except as
otherwise noted in this section, we will not consider your application
if it is date and time stamped by the Grants.gov system later than 4:30
p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline date. When we
retrieve your application from Grants.gov, we will notify you if we are
rejecting your application because it was date and time stamped by the
Grants.gov system after 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the
application deadline date.
The amount of time it can take to upload an application
will vary depending on a variety of factors, including the size of the
application and the speed of your Internet connection. Therefore, we
strongly recommend that you do not wait until the application deadline
date to begin the submission process through Grants.gov.
You should review and follow the Education Submission
Procedures for submitting an application through Grants.gov that are
included in the application package for this program to ensure that you
submit your application in a timely manner to the Grants.gov system.
You can also find the Education Submission Procedures pertaining to
Grants.gov at https://e-Grants.ed.gov/help/Grantsgov
SubmissionProcedures.pdf.
To submit your application via Grants.gov, you must
complete all steps in the Grants.gov registration process (see https://
www.grants.gov/applicants/get_registered.jsp). These steps include (1)
registering your organization, a multi-part process that includes
registration with the Central Contractor Registry (CCR); (2)
registering yourself as an Authorized Organization Representative
(AOR); and (3) getting authorized as an AOR by your organization.
Details on these steps are outlined in the Grants.gov 3-Step
Registration Guide (see https://www.grants.gov/section910/
Grants.govRegistrationBrochure.pdf). You also must provide on your
application the same D-U-N-S Number used with this registration. Please
note that the registration process may take five or more business days
to complete, and you must have completed all registration steps to
allow you to submit successfully an application via Grants.gov. In
addition you will need to update your CCR registration on an annual
basis. This may take three or more business days to complete.
You will not receive additional point value because you
submit your application in electronic format, nor will we penalize you
if you submit your application in paper format.
If you submit your application electronically, you must
submit all documents electronically, including all
[[Page 14090]]
information you typically provide on the following forms: Application
for Federal Assistance (SF 424), the Department of Education
Supplemental Information for SF 424, Budget Information--Non-
Construction Programs (ED 524), and all necessary assurances and
certifications. Please note that two of these forms--the SF 424 and the
Department of Education Supplemental Information for SF 424--have
replaced the ED 424 (Application for Federal Education Assistance).
If you submit your application electronically, you must
attach any narrative sections of your application as files in a .DOC
(document), .RTF (rich text), or .PDF (Portable Document) format. If
you upload a file type other than the three file types specified in
this paragraph or submit a password-protected file, we will not review
that material.
Your electronic application must comply with any page-
limit requirements described in this notice.
After you electronically submit your application, you will
receive from Grants.gov an automatic notification of receipt that
contains a Grants.gov tracking number. (This notification indicates
receipt by Grants.gov only, not receipt by the Department.) The
Department then will retrieve your application from Grants.gov and send
a second notification to you by e-mail. This second notification
indicates that the Department has received your application and has
assigned your application a PR/Award number (an ED-specified
identifying number unique to your application).
We may request that you provide us original signatures on
forms at a later date.
Application Deadline Date Extension in Case of Technical Issues
with the Grants.gov System: If you are experiencing problems submitting
your application through Grants.gov, please contact the Grants.gov
Support Desk at 1-800-518-4726. You must obtain a Grants.gov Support
Desk Case Number and must keep a record of it.
If you are prevented from electronically submitting your
application on the application deadline date because of technical
problems with the Grants.gov system, we will grant you an extension
until 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, the following business day to
enable you to transmit your application electronically or by hand
delivery. You also may mail your application by following the mailing
instructions described elsewhere in this notice.
If you submit an application after 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time,
on the application deadline date, please contact the person listed
elsewhere in this notice under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT and
provide an explanation of the technical problem you experienced with
Grants.gov, along with the Grants.gov Support Desk Case Number. We will
accept your application if we can confirm that a technical problem
occurred with the Grants.gov system and that that problem affected your
ability to submit your application by 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time,
on the application deadline date. The Department will contact you after
a determination is made on whether your application will be accepted.
Note: The extensions to which we refer in this section apply
only to the unavailability of, or technical problems with, the
Grants.gov system. We will not grant you an extension if you failed
to fully register to submit your application to Grants.gov before
the application deadline date and time or if the technical problem
you experienced is unrelated to the Grants.gov system.
b. Submission of Paper Applications by Mail.
If you submit your application in paper format by mail (through the

If your application is postmarked after the application deadline
date, we will not consider your application.
Note: The U.S. Postal Service does not uniformly provide a dated

local post office.
c. Submission of Paper Applications by Hand Delivery.
If you submit your application in paper format by hand delivery,
you (or a courier service) must deliver the original and two copies of

V. Application Review Information
1. Selection Criteria: The selection criteria for this program are
from 34 CFR 75.210 and are listed in the application package.
2. Review and Selection Process: Additional factors we consider in
selecting an application for an award are the equitable distribution of
grants among the geographical regions of the United States and among
urban, suburban, and rural populations.
VI. Award Administration Information
1. Award Notices: If your application is successful, we notify your
U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and send you a Grant Award
Notification (GAN). We may also notify you informally.
[[Page 14091]]
If your application is not evaluated or not selected for funding,
we notify you.
2. Administrative and National Policy Requirements: We identify
administrative and national policy requirements in the application
package and reference these and other requirements in the Applicable
Regulations section of this notice.
We reference the regulations outlining the terms and conditions of
an award in the Applicable Regulations section of this notice and
include these and other specific conditions in the GAN. The GAN also
incorporates your approved application as part of your binding
commitments under the grant.
3. Reporting: At the end of your project period, you must submit a
final performance report, including financial information, as directed
by the Secretary. You must also submit an interim progress report
twelve months after the award date. This report should provide the most
current performance and financial expenditure information, including
baseline data.
4. Performance Measures: The Secretary has established the
following key performance measures for assessing the effectiveness of
the Grants for the Integration of Schools and Mental Health Systems
program:
a. The percentage of schools served by the grant that have
comprehensive, detailed linkage protocols in place; and
b. The percentage of school personnel served by the grant who are
trained to make appropriate referrals to mental health services.
