èßäÊÓƵ’ Comprehensive School Psychology program was recently named the recipient of a prestigious $5.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education for its proven track record of improving student well-being and academic performance. 

The renewable, èßäÊÓƵ-based mental health grant will be used to provide comprehensive èßäÊÓƵ psychology services to 18 Title I èßäÊÓƵs across the district for the 2024-25 èßäÊÓƵ year. This is up from 11 èßäÊÓƵs served in the previous year. Through the duration of the grant, 25 èßäÊÓƵs designated as Title I at the time of the grant award will receive comprehensive èßäÊÓƵ psychology services.
