Proposed Project: The National CrossSite Evaluation of Safe Schools/Healthy
Students (SS/HS) Initiative Grants—In
Use Without Approval
The Safe Schools/Healthy Students
(SS/HS) Initiative is a collaborative
grant program supported by three
Federal departments—the U.S.
Departments of Health and Human
Services, Education, and Justice. The
program is authorized under the
Elementary and Secondary Education
Act of 1965, as amended, and the Higher
Education Act of 1965, Title IV, Part A,
Subpart 2 (National Programs), Section
4121 (Federal Activities), and 42U.S.C.,
Section 290hh (Children and Violence).
This initiative, instituted by Congress
following the murderous assaults at
Columbine High School in Colorado, is
designed to provide Local Educational
Agencies (LEAs), including school
districts and multidistrict regional
consortia, with funding to
simultaneously improve school safety,
improve student access to mental health
services, reduce violence and substance
use, and strengthen both school
relationships with the larger community
and early childhood preparation for
learning. Collectively, Congress expects
these changes to be reflected in
improved school climate.
Local Education Agencies (LEAs)
serve as the primary applicants for SS/
HS grants, in partnership with the local
mental health system, the local law
enforcement agency, and the local
juvenile justice agency. Other
community partners often involved in
these grants include public and private
social services agencies, businesses,
civic organizations, the faith
community, and private citizens. As a
PO 00000
Frm 00059

Sfmt 4703
result of these partnerships,
comprehensive plans are developed,
implemented, evaluated, and sustained
with the goals of promoting the healthy
development of children and youth,
fostering their resilience in the face of
adversity, and preventing violence.
From FY–1999 through FY–2004,
grants of $1 million to $3 million
annually for 3 years were awarded to
190 LEAs, for a total of $916 million. In
FY–2005, 40 new SS/HS grants were
awarded; in FY–2006, an additional 19
grants were awarded; and in FY–2007,
an additional 27 grants will be awarded.
These grants are providing support for
rural, tribal, suburban, and urban
communities that include diverse racial
and ethnic groups across the country.
In compliance with the Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of
1993, grantees are required to collect
and report data that measure the results
of the programs implemented with this
grant. Specifically, grantees are required
to collect and report information on the
following GPRA indicators:
1. The percentage of SS/HS grant sites
that experience a decrease in the
number of violent incidents at schools.
2. The percentage of SS/HS grant sites
that experience a decrease in substance
use.
3. The percentage of SS/HS grant sites
that improve school attendance.
4. The percentage of SS/HS grant sites
that increase mental health services to
students and families.
As authorized by 42 U.S.C. 290hh,
item (f), SAMHSA has begun a national
evaluation of the Safe School/Healthy
Students (SS/HS) projects. In addition
to GPRA measures, a Federal Evaluation
Work Group of the national evaluation,
comprising Federal officials
representing the U.S. Departments of
Education, and Health and Human
Services, has determined that
information is also required to address
four overarching questions:
1. Do conditions and resources in the
pre-grant environment facilitate or
impede the implementation of the SS/
HS Initiative at both the local education
agency (LEA) and school levels?
2. Do SS/HS activities lead to the
intended system changes
(comprehensive policies, enhanced
services, and improved coordination)?
3. Do system changes (near-term
outcomes) associated with the SS/HS
Initiative lead to improvements in longterm outcomes (reduction in substance
use and violence, increased access to
mental health services, and
improvement in attendance and school
climate)?
4. Overall, does the SS/HS Initiative
meet the Federal Government’s
