Sacramento County and have a special interest in the significant poser you wrote about.
The agency I work for is striving to introduce a school based program to fill the gaps but are being met with resistance.
The system of care has many gaps and the children and families are not getting the services they need. Gilroy and Morgan Hill Unified School districts are always saying there’s not enough funding for our children with special needs. In response to the auditor’s recommendation, Tom Torlakson, state superintendent of public instruction, wrote, Education does not and isn’t required by state or federal law to calculate performance and also outcome measures for any particular subgroup of special education students.
When the 2011 Assembly Bill 114 budget trailer bill moved mental health services back to the schools, the counties didn’t protest $ 400 million budget for mental health in special education is large, Dozier said. So goal of the comments section on EdSource is to facilitate thoughtful conversation about content published on our website. As a result, school districts should take immediate action to comply with special education law by identifying children in need of services, particularly before taking disciplinary actions or engaging law enforcement, the report stated. Therefore, my daughter experienced the loss of her mother to pancreatic cancer at 14 and after all suffered a brain injury which caused a seizure disorder a plenty of depression and anxiety.

They could put my daughter in a group they could cobble together with formerly incarcerated youth, they said there was no such program.
MH treatment of choice for a teenager who should rather receive support from her peers than an adult. Worse than useless. That said, what a shame and a dereliction of duty by Superintendent Torlakson. My daughter experienced the loss of her mother to pancreatic cancer at 14 and later suffered a brain injury which caused a seizure disorder a bunch of depression and anxiety. With all that said… No accountability and no available services. No thanks! On top of this, speaker of the Assembly Willie Brown, D San Francisco, introduced Assembly Bill 3632, enacted by the Legislature in 1984, whichshifted the responsibility to county mental health offices, Preis said, a system that was in place for about 25 years.
As long as that money now comes out of funds already allocated to schools, the shift created a disincentive for schools to identify students in need of mental health services, he said. About 30 years ago, schools were in charge of providing mental health services to students in special education, said Jim Preis, executive director of the Mental Health Advocacy Services. California Department of Education did not respond to a request for a comment. Department did respond to a January report from the California state auditor that similarly recommended the department produce an annual report on the kinds and costs of mental health services that districts provide to students in special education.
Jane Meredith Adams covers student health and ‘well being’. Citing a 2013 California HealthCare Foundation report that stated 6 children percent in the state suffer from a severe emotional disturbance, the state auditor estimated that 700000 children had that condition.
