SUMMARY: The Employment and Training Administration announces the 
availability of $49.5 million for grants to serve high schools that 
have been designated as persistently dangerous by State Educational 
Agencies for the 2007-2008 school year under section 9532 of the 
Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The goal of these grants is to 
reduce violence within these schools through a combination of 
mentoring, educational, employment, case management, and violence 
prevention strategies. These grants will be awarded through a 
competitive process open both to school districts which include 
persistently dangerous high schools and to community-based 
organizations (CBOs) in partnership with these school districts. High 
schools which have been designated as persistently dangerous this 
school year are located in the school districts of Baltimore City, New 
York City, Berkshire Farms (New York), Salem-Keiser (Oregon), 
Philadelphia, and Puerto Rico.
