About the Department
The Nevada Department of Education (NDE or Department) leads and collaborates with Nevada's 17 school districts and the State Public Charter School Authority to advance educational equity Statewide. Under the leadership of the State Board of Education and the Executive Team, NDE impacts the achievement of nearly half a million children and 30,000 educators.
Overview of Bullying Prevention Grant
A learning environment that is safe and respectful is essential for the pupils enrolled in Nevada schools. Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 388.132 states that any form of bullying and/or cyberbullying and discrimination based on race seriously interferes with educational opportunities. School districts and schools must train staff and students in the prevention of bullying, cyberbullying, or discrimination based on race.
This funding opportunity creates a mechanism for compliance with legislative mandates while supporting school districts and charter schools in the State of Nevada in efforts to meet the unique needs of their school communities. It also acts as an agreement between the local education agency (LEA) and the state education agency (SEA) for creating the conditions necessary to support collaborative and responsive partnership to create bully-free schools for all students and all staff.
