FROM:	Jeff Eakins, Superintendent
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the Mental Health Plan for the Use of the Mental Health Assistance Allocation (Academic Support and Federal Programs)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Following the passage of Florida Senate Bill 7030, the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) is requiring all school districts to update and submit a Mental Health Plan in order to be awarded funding from the Mental Health Assistance Allocation. A subgroup of the original task force met to review and revise the district's mental health plan to reflect the mandates and legislation required by Senate Bill 7030. The planning process sought to review implementation success and identity needs in order to improve and align our health services.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
All Strategic Objectives
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
Upon approval of the Mental Health Plan by both the School Board and FLDOE, a total allocation of $5,330,465 (minus the Charter School Mental Health funding estimate of $761,050 if a charter school opts to write a plan specific for their site) will result in a total allocation of $4,569,415.
EVALUATION
The plan will be monitored throughout the year with an annual qualitative report submitted.
