Bright Futures begin with Students, Families, Schools and Communities

In July of 2008, the Cobb County School District (CCSD) received one of the largest grants in the ten-year history of the Safe Schools/Healthy Students Initiative, a collaborative effort among the U.S. Departments of Education, Health & Human Services and Justice.

Cobb’s initiative, Success for All Students (SFAS), provides school-based mental health and other intervention services aimed at decreasing discipline events, improving attendance, promoting academic achievement and ultimately, increasing graduation rates.

Current News from SFAS:

Current data evidence shows we are making an important impact in the 35 schools where SFAS programming has been implemented.  In just over a year, data shows a decrease of 39% of students placed on juvenile probation, a 24% decrease in truancy and a 31% decrease in school fights.  Among the 450+ students who have received school-based mental heealth services, data shows a 46% decrease in discipline events in general!
