Funding for School Mental Health

The Get Kids Ahead Initiative provides one-time funding to all public and independent charter schools in Wisconsin to help build comprehensive school mental health systems. All public school districts and independent charter schools are eligible to receive funding, and each district will receive a per-pupil allocation ranging from the minimum award of $10,000 to much higher awards for districts with large student populations. The Get Kids Ahead Initiative is not a competitive grant program. Please follow this link to get more information: https://dpi.wi.gov/sspw/mental-health/get-kids-ahead-initiative
