Federal Programs in Charlotte County
Title IV
The Federal Safe and Drug Free Schools Program is responsible for administering Title IV and distributing the Title IV grant funds to Florida's school districts, university lab schools, and the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind. The main purpose of these funds is for school based substance abuse and violence prevention in grades K-12 and the promotion of health and well being of students in elementary and secondary schools. Both public and private schools are eligible to participate in the Safe and Drug Free Schools Program. Programs and activities that schools select must be in accordance with the stated goals of the grant and must either be considered a proven or promising program by the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools.
Title IV grant funding will no longer be available to schools as of the 2010-2011 school year. All funds from the 2009-2010 school year will be accounted for by December 31, 2010.
