Student Safety is the #1 Priority in Pueblo School District 60.  | Pueblo School District 60 Standard Response Protocol:  |
The
Federal Safe Schools/Healthy Students Initiative has funded more than
365 urban, suburban, rural and tribal areas nationwide since 1999.
This grant is the result of a unique collaboration among the U.S.
Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, and Justice and
was created in response to rising concerns about youth violence,
substance abuse, and school safety. Each grant site determines how
funds can best be used within the community to link new and existing
services. Partnership between schools and communities creates a
coordinated, cooperative effort that recognizes the complexity of these
issues and their root causes. Using programs and services that have a
proven track record of success, as well as strategies for both
prevention and intervention, the Safe Schools/Healthy Students
Initiative helps reduce the risk factors that come between children of
all ages and their ability to learn - and to stay safe and healthy.
