Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) School Climate Transformation Grant Program State Educational Agency (SEA) Grants (CFDA 84.184F) is a discretionary U.S. Department of Education grant competition designed to help states strengthen how they support districts and schools in improving school climate. The core purpose is to fund State educational agencies so they can develop, enhance, or expand statewide systems of support and technical assistance for local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools. The program is centered on helping schools implement an evidence-based, multi-tiered behavioral framework intended to improve student behavioral outcomes and the overall conditions for learning for all students. In practice, this means building state capacity to guide and assist districts with approaches that operate at multiple levels of support (for example, universal supports for all students, targeted supports for groups of students, and intensive individualized interventions), using practices backed by evidence.
This opportunity was posted May 7, 2014, with applications available the same day and a deadline to submit applications by June 23, 2014. It anticipated making about 18 awards nationwide, with an estimated total funding amount of $7,375,000. The award ceiling listed for individual grants was $400,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces financial barriers for state applicants. The funding activity category is education, and the CFDA listing falls under Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities National Programs, reflecting the program emphasis on safe, supportive learning environments and prevention-oriented systems.
Eligibility for this specific competition was limited to State educational agencies (SEAs). While the listing uses a general eligibility label, the eligibility section clarifies that only SEAs may apply, meaning state-level education departments or equivalent statewide education authorities are the intended applicants rather than individual school districts, schools, nonprofit organizations, or institutions of higher education.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov using the Governmentwide Grants.gov Apply system. Applicants were expected to download the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it through the portal. The notice makes clear that applications could not be submitted by email. A small but important procedural detail is that applicants needed to search for the application package using the CFDA number without the letter suffix, meaning searching for "84.184" rather than "84.184F" to locate the correct package on Grants.gov.
Because the public synopsis is only a condensed summary, applicants were directed to the official Federal Register notice for the complete and authoritative requirements. That official notice contains the full rules for applying, including any pre-application steps, required forms and narratives, performance measures, selection criteria, program priorities, and other compliance details. The synopsis also points readers to free online access for the Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations through the Government Publishing Office portal (as listed in the announcement), emphasizing that the Federal Register publication controls if there is any discrepancy between summaries and the official notice.
For support, the listing provides two main contacts: a Grants.gov systems administrator contact for technical issues with accessing or submitting the application (Julius Cotton, with phone and an EducationGrantInquiries email address), and a program manager contact for substantive program questions (Bryan Williams at the U.S. Department of Education, including address, phone number, and email). This division is typical of federal competitions, separating technical submission troubleshooting from programmatic guidance about intent, allowable activities, and interpretation of requirements.
In short, CFDA 84.184F funded state education agencies to build and scale statewide infrastructure, training, and technical assistance so districts and schools can implement proven, multi-tiered behavioral and school climate frameworks. The goal was not simply to fund isolated school-level activities, but to strengthen a state-level support system that can drive consistent, evidence-based improvements in school climate, student behavior, and learning conditions across multiple districts and schools.
