Title: School Improvement Implications of the President’s Plan for Making Schools Safer and Increasing Access to Mental Health (Policy Alert)
Description: With respect to schools, the President’s plan to “Protect our Children and our Communities by Reducing Gun Violence” includes a section on making schools safer and a section on increasing access to mental health services which will involve schools.* The focus on school safety and mental health in schools is welcome. And at this pivotal time, the plan can contribute much needed resources to make schools better places for students, families, staff,
and the surrounding community. But, as always, making the resources pay the greatest dividends for students and schools remains a significant challenge.Access at: http://smhp.psych.ucla.edu/pdfdocs/presplan.pdf) 2pp, 29kb
