Description
The New York State Education Department (NYSED) administers this competitive program under Education Law §2814. It supports students through two separate models: Extended School Day (ESD) enrichment outside regular school hours and School Violence Prevention (SVP) activities during the school day. ESD addresses academic enrichment, social-emotional learning, arts and culture, physical health and wellness, community engagement, and violence prevention.
SVP supports safer, healthier, more inclusive school environments through security strategies, community and law enforcement collaboration, prevention services, and school climate improvements. Eligible activities include school-based and school-affiliated anti-gun and anti-violence programs. Programs must align with required school safety plans and cannot displace existing after-school funding. Applicants may propose either model or submit separate, standalone applications for both.
