First, identify the Consolidated Grant Application owner for your LEA. This individual will shepherd the application through the process and receive communications from OSPI regarding the application. See Instructions to Complete the Title I A, Subpart 1 Form in EGMS (Beginning on page 39) for guidance on the Title I, Part A forms.

 Lifelines Training
Lifelines is a wellness focused, trauma-informed program for schools based on the principal of the Competent School Community. Every member of the school community is included in the implementation of Lifelines. For this reason, OSPI expects that teams registering for in-person training, including a 3-year subscription to the online Lifelines curriculum, will commit to passing along their learning to others in the education community and to implementing the curriculum.
To participate in the three-day Lifelines Comprehensive Trilogy, the team will make the following commitments:
- Send a team of at least 2–3 members to the full three-day training. See sample agenda at the link below. Registration and the curriculum will be free, but districts must pay the costs for travel and per diem.
- Implement prevention, intervention, and postvention by using the Trilogy on-demand curriculum.
- Serve as a Trainer of Trainers team with a commitment to train and engage identified staff in each of the three components (prevention, intervention, and postvention) as recommended by the Lifelines training guidelines.
Dates/Locations:
- August 17–19, 2022 (Olympia Regional Learning Academy)
