BISMARCK – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) announced today the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) awarded $1,542,174 to the North Dakota Department of Corrections.
The funds will be used for the North Dakota Helping Educators Lead with Positivity program. The program embeds school-wide positive behavior intervention to increase positive behavior, decrease punitive consequences, and implement prevention-focused interventions earlier, which will result in sustainability. The program will work with 5-8 North Dakota schools with a total of 4,000 students.
