Why is this urgent?

Schools that support the whole child address not only academic achievement, but also mental, physical, and behavioral health.

This comprehensive approach creates a sense of belonging and helps develop the social and emotional skills needed for lifelong success and responsible citizenship.

Equity Commitment

We believe each student deserves to thrive in a learning environment that prioritizes their social, emotional, mental, physical, and behavioral health and well-being alongside academic achievement. By integrating these supports and fostering a positive school climate, we aim to create equitable access to opportunities for students to succeed in school and life.

Goal A

Increase student and family awareness of, access to, and use of available social, emotional, behavioral, and mental health supports

Goal B

Increase the percent of students not chronically absent for all student groups.

Goal C

Increase behavioral health supports in schools by reducing the staff-to-student services ratios.
