(KAIR)--Atchison’s public school leaders grant approval for an enhancement to available mental health services for students in USD 409.
That comes as the Board of Education, Monday evening, approved a partnership with the Atchison Community Health Clinic.
The idea for the expansion of mental health services developed through the efforts of a group of individuals following several high profile student suicides that occurred in the school district last year.
Access to mental health services was one of the first needs identified by the Unity in the Community group.
Brian Hagen talked to Superintendent of Schools Dr. Susan Myers about the expansion.
