Grant Overview
Key outcomes for Kansas grantees include reducing violent incidents, improving student safety, and enhancing the overall educational environment. Specifically, the program targets a decrease in disciplinary actions, such as suspensions and expulsions, and an increase in student engagement and academic achievement. The Kansas State Department of Education's existing initiatives, such as the Kansas Mental Health Modernization Task Force, align with these goals and will be supported through this grant program.
Measuring Success in Kansas
To measure the success of grantees, the Banking Institution will track several key performance indicators (KPIs), including the number of violent incidents reported in participating schools, student suspension and expulsion rates, and academic achievement metrics, such as standardized test scores and graduation rates. Kansas-based grantees will also be required to report on their implementation of evidence-based programs and practices, such as Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and trauma-informed care. The state's unique demographic features, including its mix of urban, suburban, and rural areas, will be taken into account when evaluating the effectiveness of grantee programs. For instance, schools in frontier counties may face distinct challenges in implementing certain evidence-based practices, and the grant program will consider these regional differences when assessing outcomes.Kansas-Specific Context and Opportunities
Kansas's geographic location, bordering several states including Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma, presents opportunities for collaboration and resource sharing. The state has existing networks of community organizations, schools, and healthcare providers that can be leveraged to support youth violence prevention efforts. Additionally, Kansas's business community, including major industries such as agriculture and manufacturing, can play a role in supporting grant-funded initiatives. The Kansas Department of Commerce has previously provided grants for business development and job training programs, demonstrating the state's capacity for collaborative economic development efforts. As grantees work to achieve the priority outcomes, they will be able to draw on these existing resources and partnerships to enhance their programs. For example, a school district in Kansas might partner with a local business to provide job training and mentorship opportunities for at-risk youth, supporting both the district's educational goals and the business's workforce development needs.Q: What types of evidence-based programs are eligible for funding in Kansas? A: Eligible programs include those that have been proven to reduce youth violence, such as PBIS, trauma-informed care, and social-emotional learning initiatives. Kansas grantees can also consider programs that address specific regional needs, such as gang prevention in urban areas.
Q: How will the Banking Institution evaluate the success of Kansas grantees? A: The Banking Institution will assess grantee success based on the KPIs mentioned earlier, including violent incident reports, suspension and expulsion rates, and academic achievement metrics. Kansas grantees will also be required to provide regular progress reports and participate in evaluation activities. To support grantees in achieving these outcomes, the Banking Institution will provide technical assistance and training on data collection and reporting.
Q: Can Kansas grantees coordinate with neighboring states or national organizations to support their youth violence prevention efforts? A: Yes, Kansas grantees are encouraged to explore partnerships with neighboring states, such as Missouri and Nebraska, as well as national organizations, to leverage best practices and resources. For instance, a Kansas school district might partner with a Missouri-based organization to provide training on evidence-based practices, or collaborate with a national organization to access technical assistance and resources. The Banking Institution's grant program is designed to support innovative and collaborative approaches to addressing youth violence, and Kansas grantees are well-positioned to take advantage of these opportunities.
