Background:
On Oct. 25, 2023, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded the Project Advancing Wellness and Resilience in Education (Project AWARE) grant to the district. Of the 21 organizations selected for the grant nationwide, the district was the only school district in Washington State to receive $5 million that will be administered over a five-year period.
A requirement of the grant is to advertise for evaluation services. The evaluator is to assess the ongoing status of the grant by providing timely information for creating strategic plans, assessing disparities or gaps in service, measuring progress, and keeping the project focused on the overall objectives.
We ask that the board approve the publication of the attached Request for Proposal for Project AWARE Program Evaluation Services.
