After a decades-long relationship with the nonprofit San Diego Youth Services, the district is taking a different route, which means the district is starting the school year without mental health services.
‘Living up to stereotype': LA parents willing to splurge on back-to-school shopping despite inflationNBC 7 looked up a recording of the last meeting held by the board and found the decision stemmed from a public comment by Cajon Valley Union School District board member Anthony Carnevale.
“We are very proud of the services we provide to the LGBTQ+ community,” Philips said."We are strong partners, we are a safe place in all of our programs and we know that the LGBTQ+ community has higher rates of suicide, mental illness and homelessness." SDYS had been collaborating with the district on two programs. One was where they provided on-site clinicians who would see students referred by teachers on mental health concerns. The other one was a suicide prevention program that provided outreach and education to students in the classroom.
“This kind of service is really needed for students, not just at Grossmont Union High School, but across the county,” said Philips. “It's critical.”NBC 7 reached out to the school district for comment and they responded with the following: “All of our Governing Board members understand the importance of meeting the mental health needs of our students. That’s why, when the approval of the SDYS agreements came up on the July 20 Open Session agenda, our Board members discussed conducting additional research and exploring alternatives. That work – to provide our students with as many mental health resources as possible – continues.
