Program details & compliance
Description
School Safety National Activities (SSNA) is a broad discretionary authority under section 4631 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) for activities to improve students’ safety and well-being. The SSNA program statute authorizes the longstanding Project School Emergency Response to Violence (Project SERV) program, which provides education-related services—including counseling and referral to mental health services as needed—to local educational agencies (LEAs) and institutions of higher education (IHEs) in which the learning environment has been disrupted by a violent or traumatic incident. In recent years School Safety National Activities have also included: Mental Health Services Professional Demonstration Grants to address the shortage of credentialed school-based mental health services providers, specifically school psychologists, in high-need LEAs; and School-Based Mental Health Services Grants to increase the number of credentialed mental health services providers delivering mental health services to students in high need LEAs.
