SCTAC

The Texas Center for Student Supports at Region 16 Service Center invites Texas Education Service Centers to apply for the Stronger Connections Technical Assistance and Capacity Building Initiative (SCTAC). The SCTAC Pilot is designed to support the implementation of the Student Support Framework and its related elements in campuses that were not participants of the original Stronger Connections Grant program.

Through this pilot, TCSS aims to provide sustainable access to the content, resources, and supports developed during the Stronger Connections Grant project. The pilot will build regional capacity to support campuses in creating safe, supportive, and healthy learning environments.
