The federal government confirmed Concord schools would receive the second grant two weeks ago.
The pair of grants, which come from the Department of Health and Human Services’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, or SAMHSA, fund a collaboration with Riverbend Community Mental Health Center and a youth mental health program.
This summer, the federal funding freeze and the cancellation of other grants had heightened concerns that other sources of federal education funding could be withheld, too.
The office was “instrumental” in communication with the Department of Health and Human Services, Desmond said.
The two grants total $2.5 million and are part of roughly $11 million that Concord is set to receive over a five-year period.
