The Office of Elementary and Secondary
Education (OESE) in the US Department of Education (ED) requests
clearance for a new information collection for the discretionary
grant application for the School-Based Mental Health Services grant
program (SBMH). The SBMH grant program provides grants to local
educational agencies (LEAs), State educational agencies (SEAs), and
consortia of LEAs. to the number of qualified (i.e., licensed,
certified, well-trained, or credentialed) mental health service
providers providing school-based mental health services to students
in local LEAs with demonstrated need. This program is authorized
under section 4631(a)(1)(B) of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act (20 U.S.C. 7281), as amended. The first SBMH grant
competition was held in 2020 and was exempt from rulemaking under
Section 437(d)(1) of the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA).
At this time, the Department is proposing priorities, requirements,
and definitions under the SBMH grant program. The proposed
requirements contain information collection requirements that we
are requesting approval for through this request.
This program is proposing new
priorities and requirements that create information collection
requirements. This request for approval of a new discretionary
grant application accounts for the 300 applications that will take
40 hours each to complete for a total of 12,000 burden hours.
