LEAs may apply for two types of assistance under Project SERV: Immediate Services grants and Extended Services grants. LEAs are not required to apply for, or have received, an Immediate Services Grant to be eligible for funding under Extended Services . LEAs that wish to apply for both Immediate Services and Extended Services Grants must submit a separate application for each.
Immediate Services Grants: Immediate Services grants are intendedto provide short-term support shortly after a traumatic event . Immediate Services grants are intended to provide a limited amount of funds to restore the learning environment in a timely fashion. The application process is not intended to be burdensome. Typically, applications are a narrative of about 4-5 pages and contain the following information:
- Description of the school district (i.e., small, rural district with enrollment of X number of students, demographic information, etc.);
- Description of the traumatic incident;
- Description of the impact the incident has had on the learning environment;
- Explanation of proposed activities designed to restore the learning environment; and
- Budget and budget narrative.
Under an Immediate Services grant, districts may request up to $50,000 for a period of six months.
Extended Services Grants: Extended Services grants are intended to address the long-term recovery efforts that may be needed following a traumatic event . Extended Services grants may provide up to $250,000 for up to 18 months to help maintain safety and security in an affected school and to help students, teachers, school staff and family members recover from the event. Extended Services applications are considered unsolicited grant applications and must undergo a rigorous review by the Office of Safe Drug-Free Schools and the Office of the General Counsel. After review by staff members, the application is peer-reviewed by an outside panel before being recommended for funding.
