Opportunity Summary:
Youth Violence and Related Issues in Persistently Dangerous Schools (CFDA 84.184V) was a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Education under the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities National Programs authority. The overall purpose of the program was to help local educational agencies (LEAs) put in place practical programs, activities, and strategies to reduce youth violence and address related school safety issues in schools formally identified as "persistently dangerous." The identification standard referenced in the notice comes from section 9532 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, which required states to designate schools that meet their "persistently dangerous" criteria and to take certain actions related to school choice and safety. In short, the grant was aimed at districts facing the most acute, officially documented school safety problems and was designed to support targeted, on-the-ground interventions.
Eligibility was narrow and tied to a specific school year and reporting timeline. Applicants had to be LEAs with at least one school that was identified as persistently dangerous for the 2006-2007 school year and that identification had to be certified by the state as part of the state educational agency's annual Consolidated State Performance Report. The notice specifies that the certification needed to be made by March 31, 2007. This matters because it means the competition was not open to all districts with general safety concerns; it was limited to those with a qualifying designation already on record with the state for that year.
From a funding and scale standpoint, the Department of Education estimated total funding at $8,594,000 and expected to make about 13 awards. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which lowered the financial barrier to participation for eligible districts that may already have been under strain due to safety-related needs and associated costs.
In terms of logistics and timing, applications were made available July 9, 2007, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was August 8, 2007, with the opportunity later archived on September 7, 2007. Applicants were allowed to submit electronically, but only through Grants.gov, using the downloadable application package. The notice explicitly prohibited submitting an application by emailing an electronic copy to the Department. It also included a small but important technical instruction for locating the package on Grants.gov: applicants had to search by the base CFDA number "84.184" and not include the alpha suffix "V" in the search query.
The published synopsis repeatedly emphasizes that it is not the full announcement and that the official requirements were contained in the Federal Register notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 2007. That full notice would contain the detailed elements applicants typically need to compete effectively, such as application content and formatting rules, any pre-application requirements, selection criteria, competitive priorities, performance measures, and official contacts. The synopsis directs applicants to use the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations via GPO Access for the authoritative version, reinforcing that the brief Grants.gov text is only a high-level overview and not a complete compliance checklist.
For applicant support and administration, the listing provided key contact points, including Grants.gov technical help through the Grants.gov Helpdesk at 1-800-518-4726, and a Department contact for difficulty accessing the announcement electronically (Julius Cotton, with phone and email listed). It also named a program manager, Michelle Padilla, at the U.S. Department of Education, along with a mailing address in Washington, DC, and a telephone number, indicating where programmatic questions would typically be directed during the competition window.
Overall, this opportunity was designed as a focused, time-bound investment in school safety for a specific cohort of districts with schools officially labeled persistently dangerous in 2006-2007. It offered federal support to implement evidence-informed or strategically designed interventions to reduce violence and related issues, and it relied on standard federal discretionary grant processes, with formal submission through Grants.gov and detailed rules set out in the Federal Register notice.
