One is mental health counseling available for all needed students with parental permission after a screening if necessary. Services will be available one day a week at the high school and the other day at the K-8 complex.

The second contract is for the student support groups at the high school for two hours a week. Allocations for additional mental health services were included in this year’s state budget.
