Tier 1, Cohort S

Purpose: The primary goal and purpose of the grant are to (1) adopt tobacco-free campus policies that prohibit the use of products containing tobacco and nicotine including, but not limited to, smokeless tobacco, snuff, chew, clove cigarettes, and electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), and (2) conduct the district-level CHKS Core Module with the subgroup population of students in grades five or six, and seven, nine, and eleven. The TUPE Initiation Grant Program (Tier 1, Cohort S) provides funding for three years, beginning July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2026. The maximum allowable funding for a single COE or LEA applicant is $6,000 for all three years of the grant. Consortium applicants may request up to $6,000 for each LEA represented in the application for all three years of the grant. The level of available funding appropriated, and the number of qualified applications, will determine the number of grants awarded. The Legislature requires that the funds allocated for the Tier 1, Cohort S Grant be used for the enforcement of Tobacco-Free School Policies, administration of the CHKS, and support for activities that prevent the use of all tobacco products by youth. As such, the following section provides the specific program requirements for Tier 1, Cohort S applicants. A. Tobacco-Free Policy Development B. California Healthy Kids Survey Eligible Applicants: COEs, public school districts, direct-funded charter schools, or consortia that serve students in grades 6–12 within the state of California. The governing district must apply on behalf of a school or school site within its jurisdiction. Any currently funded Tier 1 district or direct-funded charter school that is a member of a Tier 1 consortium with a grant expiring on June 30, 2023, is eligible to re-apply. Eligible Geographies: Under California law, the CDE must consider the need to balance urban and rural applicants when allocating grant awards (HSC 104420(k)(2)(D)(4)). Applicants must therefore identify the geographic category in which their applications will compete: ● Northern-Urban ● Northern-Rural ● Central-Urban ● Central-Rural ● Southern-Urban ● Southern-Rural
