Enhance Student Mental Health

The Blue Valley School District supports an expansion of community-based behavioral and mental health initiatives. Further, the Blue Valley School District supports expanding the criteria for the statewide school-based mental health grants to include providers outside of the County Health Departments who reside in the school buildings.

This priority matters because addressing students’ mental health needs improves academic outcomes, attendance, and overall well-being. If funding and resources are not expanded, schools may struggle to meet the growing demand for mental health support, leaving students and families without critical assistance.
