Details:
The purpose of this County Technical Assistance (CTA) Funds grant is to support the COEs in providing leadership, administrative oversight, training, and technical assistance (TA)to all LEAs in each county, not only those receiving TUPE funding. TA focuses on the areas of tobacco-free school policies, providing support to LEAs in tobacco-use prevention education and instruction, staff professional development, family and community engagement, interagency partnerships, cessation support and referrals, and program assessment. In addition, as a requirement of receiving Proposition 56 funding, COEs must provide TA aimed at accelerating and monitoring the rate of decline in tobacco-related disparities for the purpose of eliminating tobacco-related disparities. The role of the TUPE County Coordinator is to engage with LEAs throughout their county and assist in providing resources, support, and guidance in planning and implementing effective and compliant TUPE programs, preparing TUPE Grant Applications and serving as a liaison between the CDE and the LEAs in their county.
TA focuses on: tobacco-free school policies, support to LEAs on tobacco-use prevention education and instruction, staff professional development, family and community engagement, interagency partnerships, cessation support and referrals, and program assessment. A portion of TA funds are to be directed to identifying and reducing disparities among disparate youth populations.
