Registration Fee & Funding Information
The registration fee for this training is $325 per participant.
Through support from the Erie County Office of Drug and Alcohol, funding is available to cover registration costs for up to 40 eligible Erie County participants. Funding is limited to registrants from Erie County school districts, private schools, and eligible community agencies. Participants from outside Erie County are welcome to register and attend the training but are not eligible for Erie County funding and will be responsible for the $325 registration fee.
Priority for funded seats will be given to participants from private schools and community agencies that are not eligible for PDE-funded SAP training opportunities. Erie County school district staff who are eligible for PDE-funded SAP training are encouraged to utilize those opportunities when available. Remaining funded seats will be awarded based on availability.
Registration does not guarantee a funded seat. Registrants will be notified by email on September 21, 2026, if their training fee will be covered through Erie County funding.
