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.
