Specialized Programs for Vulnerable Student Populations

Para Los Niños and Evelyn Thurman Gratts Primary serve a diverse group of students, some of whom may face additional challenges due to socio-economic or family circumstances. GAT Force addresses these specific needs with a range of programs:

Recognizing the need for secure and resilient educational environments, GAT Force actively seeks partnerships to leverage state and federal grants aimed at improving school security. Our team works alongside LAUSD and Para Los Niños to pursue funding opportunities that align with both state and federal safety initiatives, including:

• Federal School Safety Grants: GAT Force’s programs align with federal grants aimed at promoting K-12 school security, such as those offered by the Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) and the STOP School Violence Act.
• Community-Based Funding Initiatives: By applying for grants through local foundations and partnerships with the City of Los Angeles, we aim to bring additional resources to security programs that directly benefit Para Los Niños and Evelyn Thurman Gratts Primary.
