Florida Public School District Funding Opportunity for the
Tobacco
Prevention and Intervention Teacher Training Project
The Florida Department of Education’s goal of
Highest Student Achievement
is one of the top
priorities for K-12 schools. In order to reach this goal, the Department recognizes that students
learn best in a school environment that is safe and healthy. To support this goal, the Coordinated
School Health Program announces a Request for Proposal to provide funding to Florida public
school districts for the
Tobacco Prevention and Intervention Teacher Training Project
. This
grant will enable districts to provide quality training for teachers to implement effective tobacco
prevention and intervention programs in their classrooms and schools. Districts will have the
opportunity to develop and enhance tobacco prevention and intervention efforts. This will
reinforce universal refusal skills development in students, thereby enhancing student
achievement, as a healthy student is more likely to achieve at school. The project award is up to
$50,000 per district.
All applications and proposals are due by April 28, 2006.
