Agenda Item Title: Mental Health Tiers of Support (10 minutes)
Estimated Time:
Person Responsible: Arianna Mayes, Director of Special Education
Background: MVWSD currently employs two clinical therapists through a contractor. MVWSD employs five psychologists. Staff is asking to hire one in house clinical therapist with the addition of a 6th psychologist to support the mental health needs of our students at 11 sites for the 2019/20 school year.
Fiscal Implication: Cost neutral. However as a district hire, supervisors will have better oversight of the employees.
Recommended Action: That the Board approve hiring an additional psychologist and one clinical therapist.
