SUBJECT

:

Florida Public School District Continued Funding Opportunity for the

Tobacco

Prevention and Intervention Teacher Training Project-Final Year

 

 

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. In order to support this goal, the Coordinated School Health Program

announces a Request for Application to provide continued funding to identified Florida public school

districts for the

Tobacco Prevention and Intervention Teacher Training Project

. This grant enables districts

to provide a third year of quality training for teachers to implement effective tobacco prevention and

intervention programs in their classrooms and schools. Districts will have the opportunity to continue

current grant programs, enhance tobacco prevention and intervention efforts, or include new tobacco

prevention or intervention teacher training as dictated by local needs.

 

The maximum project award is $35,000 per district.

All applications are due by May 22, 2007.

The attached

Request for Application (RFA) outlines the application process. This is a non-competitive grant; however, an

internal review of each application will be conducted. If you have questions or require assistance in completing

this application, please contact Dr. Antionette Meeks or Penny Detscher at the contact information above.
