Districts will focus on shifting mindsets, aligning systems, and building a comprehensive continuum of support aligned with the Multi-Layered System of Supports (MLSS) whole-person support model. Implementation coaches will support each district and school to increase capacity and help build and implement the comprehensive behavioral health plan. The term for this position ends in June 2028.
