SHARE
(Safe-Healthy-Attitudes-Require-Education)

The Chenango Forks School District successfully partnered with 10 school districts, including Broome­ Tioga BOCES and several community agencies, to receive a grant from the Federal Safe Schools/Healthy Students Initiative.

The SHARE. grant is a $5.6 million, four-year community partnership that includes Binghamton University, Lourdes Hospital, Broome County Mental Health, the Broome County Sheriff's Office and the Broome County Department of Probation.

The focus of the grant is to work together to reduce risk factors that can come between our children and their ability to learn, both at home and in school. The project will provide students with safer, healthier schools and provide support to parents and our community. The initiative will address student needs in the areas of violence and substance abuse prevention and intervention; social, emotional, and behavioral support; mental health services, and early childhood development.

BOCES Project Coordinator Jessica Frederick presented the SHARE project to the Board of Education at the December meeting. District administrators and pupil personnel service providers also recently met with Frederick to discuss the needs of the students, parents, staff and community. Implementation of grant activities is planned for September, 2010.
