“Attendance, behavior, all discipline, threat assessments, suicide assessments, the mental health teams, the nurses, foster care, students experiencing homelessness," White said, listing off a number of those barriers.
The stress on the school system weighs on the students, White said. Her job is to try and combat as much of that exterior stress as she can, to ensure the students can continue to learn. There are school counselors inside of every school in the district, which also pays for school-based therapists who can focus more intently on the mental health of students.
"When a student makes a threat, or you know, posts about a threat, social media, those types of things, the school team responds to that threat in the same manner, a process that we use across Adams County... A threat assessment screen, which is comprised of an administrator, a mental health person and an SRO. In all of our schools, we either bring in an officer, some of them have them in there already, that sit and hear about that particular student," White said.
She would love to see more counselors and therapists in every school, but said that would require a significant investment from the state.
