Bill Summary

Block Grant Funding for Prevention Programs in Public Education

AI Summary

This bill establishes a block grant funding program for local education agencies (LEAs) to implement comprehensive prevention plans that address substance abuse, gang prevention, youth suicide, and positive behavior programs. The bill allows LEAs to apply for the block grant funding rather than seeking individual program funding, with the goal of coordinating and unifying prevention efforts. The state board is required to provide guidance, technical assistance, and professional learning opportunities to LEAs on designing and implementing the comprehensive prevention plans. The bill also allows excess funds from the Underage Drinking and Substance Abuse Prevention Program Restricted Account to be distributed through the block grant funding program.
