services are designed to improve the children’s educational performance and personal achievement, directly benefiting the children as well as providing long-range cost savings to the state. FYS programs work through interagency collaboration with social workers, probation officers, group home staff, school staff, and community service agencies to influence foster children’s day-to-day routines, both during and after school. FYS programs may also collaborate with, complement, and supplement a variety of existing support services to help ensure delivery of comprehensive support services to foster children and youths. These services include Title I, Neglected and Delinquent Youth (Public Law 103-382) program services, Healthy Start Services, services provided by special education local plan areas (SELPAs), and Independent Living Programs, to name a few. FYS programs are funded through a noncompetitive grant process. Eligible applicants include county offices of education or a consortium of counties as a single applicant. There are FYS grant-funded programs in 57 of California’s 58 counties. Chapter 862, Statutes of 2004 (Assembly Bill 490, Steinberg) includes a provision that requires all districts to appoint an educational liaison with prescribed duties to ensure appropriate and timely educational placement and equal opportunities for foster youths. In addition to the 57 countywide FYS programs operated through county offices of education, there are district FYS programs operated through six core districts as specified in California Education Code Section 42920. All FYS programs provide educational and support services to foster youths residing in licensed foster homes. Chapter 75, Statutes of 2006, contains a new provision for education-based services to foster youths in county-operated juvenile detention facilities. For more information regarding the FYS program, contact the Counseling, Student Support, and Service-Learning Office, at (916) 323-2183 or by e-mail at fosteryouth@cde.ca.gov. Additional information is also available on the FYS Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/pf/fy. 76
Safe Schools and Violence Prevention All California Department of Education (CDE) programs have an effect on the learning environment and therefore on school safety. The programs described below are the primary activities that have the improvement of school safety as their principal goal. • School Safety Block Grant. This program provides approximately $95 million annually for a block grant to school districts serving youths in grades eight through twelve, based primarily on student enrollment. Another $1 million is allocated to county offices of education, also based on enrollment. These funds may be used for all violence-prevention strategies, including implementing science-based violence-prevention programs, hiring personnel trained in conflict resolution, providing on-campus communication devices, establishing staff training programs, and establishing cooperative arrangements with law enforcement. • Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (S&DFSC). This program, funded by the No Child Left Behind Act, provides approximately $32 million annually for school- and community-based alcohol-, drug-, and violenceprevention programs. The two primary elements of the program are (1) the maintenance of a statewide leadership program operated through county S&DFSC coordinators who provide training, technical assistance, and leadership to school districts in the implementation of a prevention program; and (2) CDE leadership of the statewide transition to the use of research-based prevention programs. The program is administered by the Safe and Healthy Kids Program Office. For more information regarding the S&DFSC, visit the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/51969. • School Community Violence Prevention (SCVP). Assembly Bill 825 of 2004 created a new school violence-prevention grant program by collapsing all previous appropriations for school violence-prevention grants into one program. Grants are for as much as $500,000 spread over a five-year period, and they may be used to address any violence-prevention needs. Successful applications will have demonstrated: 1. A strong collaborative process that includes school staff, local law enforcement, families, students, and community members; 2. Significant school safety needs as identified by a needs analysis conducted by the collaborative group; 3. A plan, created by the collaborative, which uses prevention programs of demonstrated effectiveness to address the identified needs; and 4. Coordination of the SCVP grant with existing school safety activities funded by other fund sources. • School/Law Enforcement (S/LE) Partnership. Since 1983 the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Attorney General have unified their efforts and resources through the S/LE partnership. The S/LE Partnership highlights collaborative programs that involve members of the entire school 77
