Bullying Prevention Funding Grant

The Bullying Prevention Funding initiative from the State of Nevada Department of Education aims to create safe and respectful learning environments in schools. This funding supports school districts in complying with legislative mandates to train staff and students in bullying prevention. It fosters collaborative partnerships between local education agencies and the state, ensuring all students and staff can thrive in bully-free schools.

A learning environment that is safe and respectful is essential for the pupils enrolled in in Nevada schools. Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 388.132 states any form of bullying/cyberbullying seriously interferes with educational opportunities. School districts and schools must train staff and students on Bullying prevention.
This application creates the mechanism for compliance with Legislative mandate while supporting districts in efforts to meet the unique needs of their school communities. It also acts as an agreement between the LEA and the SEA for creating the conditions necessary to support collaborative and responsive partnership as we work towards having bully free schools for all students and all staff.
