Vermont 2026-27 BEST and Act 230 LEA Grant — School Climate, SEL & Behavioral Supports
Vermont LEAs may apply for up to $10,000 in 2026-27 BEST and Act 230 funding for school climate, SEL, behavioral supports, screening/data tools and professional learning. Applications are due September 15, 2026; current guidance does not establish a material N9+ equipment pathway.
Required next actionThe September 15, 2026 deadline is inside Atlas's 48-hour new-outreach cutoff and the Agency does not publish a closing clock time, so do not initiate new applicant outreach. For an LEA already working the application, align the request with its Safe and Healthy Schools plan and document the required local contribution or waiver basis; eligible contribution sources may include staff time, locally funded professional learning, aligned contracted services, and Medicaid reimbursement used for grant-aligned activities.
