9. GOAL THREE
Create and support peer resiliency networks that help students combat significant adversity through responsible behavior and lifelong, positive health practices. Provide students with tools to identify peers in crisis, understand crisis protocols, and address hurtful behaviors such as bullying.

10. GOAL FOUR
Provide education, professional learning, and information to students, classroom teachers, and school personnel regarding WVBE policies that address opioid and substance abuse (alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs), particularly where these policies align with the goals of educational program development and content standards.

11. GOAL FIVE
Address the violent and erratic student behaviors among our students that are increasing in frequency, duration, and intensity, especially among younger children. These behaviors are a response to the Opioid Epidemic, and frequently result in mental health issues.

Children living in homes where opioids or other substances are abused often become the victims of trauma. These traumatic experiences impair the brain’s development leading to social- emotional mental health issues and even challenging behaviors, which inhibit learning.
Intro into the overarching goal of the toolkit: to provide information and resources to address the opioid epidemic, trauma and trauma-informed schools, and mental health based on the current stats and findings

Supporting Mental Health for Every Student
Resources and trainings related to links in the ReClaimWV Toolkit will help educators gain the knowledge and skills to respond to mental health, trauma and the opioid epidemic
Trauma-Students who have experienced trauma have a significantly compromised capacity to self-acknowledge – This is a result of their allocating resources toward managing themselves, their feelings, or their efforts. Cue off the environment to determine what they can and cannot get. Their sense of self is heavily influenced by the reactions of those around them. ~Fostering Resilient Learners
SEL-Research has shown that education promoting SEL can improve student achievement, health, classroom management, and discipline. Visit the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) at casel.org for more information about SEL and resources.
- SEL should be a deeply ingrained part of the way students and adults interact both in the classroom and out of it, and helps provide children with equitable, supportive, and welcoming learning environments.

42. FAQ #2
Q: Are ReClaimWV funds only to be used on special education students? A: No. ReClaimWV funds can be used on all students as they are not regulated under IDEA. The IDEA discretionary funds need to be used with a primary focus on students with disabilities, however all students may incidentally benefit from the activities the funds pay for.

43. FAQ #3
Q: If my county is receiving money for GRADUATION 20/20, do we have to use all of it for GRADUATION 20/20? A: Not necessarily. Of the funds that were allocated to each county for GRADUATION 20/20, $2,500 per participating school is REQUIRED to be used for the program. Each participating school should have a plan for how to spend their $2,500 and provide the budget to their County Contact for GRADUATION 20/20.

44. FAQ #4
Q: What if my county participated in GRADUATION 20/20 last year and was chosen to participate in Communities in Schools (CIS) this year? A: If every participating school in your county was chosen to be a part of CIS, your county is now only CIS. There is no need to budget any funds for GRADUATION 20/20 as there were no funds included in your RDP allocation for that purpose. There are only 4 counties that will have both CIS and GRADUATION 20/20 for FY20. Those counties are Fayette, Raleigh, McDowell, and Hardy.
