Districts today are navigating tighter budgets, shifting student needs, and unprecedented pressure to prioritize what truly matters for school climate, attendance, and instructional success. Human skills curriculum like Second Step^® programs remain essential, but in many communities, funding feels unpredictable.

This practical, leader‑focused webinar shows you how to sustain and scale Second Step programs—even in rainy day budget cycles—using the federal tools you already have.

You’ll learn about:

• Sunny day vs. Rainy day funding and what to do when dollars dry up
• How to braid, blend, consolidate, transfer, REAP, sequence, and align funds without increasing cost
• How Titles I–V, IDEA, McKinney‑Vento, and Impact Aid can all support materials, PD, MTSS, tiered interventions, family engagement, and long‑term sustainability
• A five‑step roadmap to stabilize implementation through leadership changes and budget dips
• What makes programs stick—not slip—and protect commitments, time, dedicated leaders, and integrated routines
• How consolidating initiatives and sharing costs across departments frees general funds and lowers total spending

Participants will walk away with immediately usable language for plans and grants as well as a funding approach that keeps human skills development thriving, no matter the budget forecast.
