2024 Prevention Funds Available for Your School!
Jordan District is focused on supporting each student’s well-being. As a part of this ongoing effort, there are funds available for each school’s prevention efforts. Please review the following information:
*As a reminder, each school is required to maintain and update prevention plans annually. These funds and upcoming workshops are meant to support each school’s prevention plan.
Positive Behaviors Plan 2023-2024
E-cigarette and Nicotine Prevention Funds
- $1,000 of supply funds for your positive behavior plan
- $3,000 for stipends for licensed staff who implement your positive behavior plan
- Fill out this form to spend the available funds
Prevention Block Grant Funds
- $2,000 towards the evidence-based social and emotional skill-building curriculum of your choosing for the 2024-25 school year as part of your school’s prevention plan.
- Instructions and support for accessing these funds will be offered through the upcoming SEL Expo (3/5) and Prevention Planning Workshops throughout March as part of the Prevention Palooza (See Prevention Palooza JAM for details)!
- Prevention Plans must be updated to include these funds by March 22nd to receive reimbursement. Unspent funds will be redistributed to schools that have submitted plans after that deadline. Again, instructions and support will be provided in the Prevention Planning Workshops throughout March.
Annual Suicide Prevention Grant Funds
- $1,000 towards training staff and students on preventing suicide, which can be part of an evidence-based suicide prevention program (Sources of Strength, HopeSquad, etc.)
If you are looking for support in coordinating and streamlining prevention efforts around common goals, attend the 2024 Prevention Palooza in March!
