Behavioral Health Executive Committee Executive Committee Meeting
The committee reviewed a regional plan which included a proposal for a GED testing fund for individuals in detention centers and the hiring of two school resource officers. Significant discussion focused on the necessity of ensuring these initiatives align with behavioral health appropriation language and evidence-based practices. Members expressed concerns regarding the supervision of school resource officers and the potential for inappropriate law enforcement interactions with students. Ultimately, the committee moved to approve the plan, contingent upon the region returning within 90 days to provide further clarification on the role of the school resource officers and the evidence-based nature of the proposed GED testing and vocational support programs.
