More about updated prevention plans:
This year, to streamline school workload and braid together funding streams and prevention efforts, school teams are invited to a new and improved Wellness & Prevention Planning Session. These planning sessions will have the same familiar wellness feel that you love, with new and improved outcomes!
During these planning sessions, school teams can anticipate the following:
- Guidance on available grant funds
- Brief education about suicide, bullying, and violence prevention
- Resources for attendance and student engagement planning
- Planning time for school teams in attendance
- Leave with a completed School Wellness Plan that meets State prevention requirements
