The Titusville Area School District's K-Age 13 Mental Health Support program provides comprehensive mental health services to students through a partnership with Family Services and Children's Aid Society. This initiative connects students to resources like individual and group therapy, family counseling, psychiatric evaluations, medication management, crisis intervention, and skill-building programs for social-emotional learning, with transportation provided. The program emphasizes early identification, confidential support, and collaborative referrals to proactively address students' social, emotional, and behavioral needs, ultimately promoting overall well-being, academic success, and a safe, supportive learning environment.

This document outlines the K-12 Comprehensive School Counseling Plan for the Titusville Area School District. The plan focuses on three key domains: Career, Academic, and Personal/Social development. It aims to meet student needs through activities aligned with Public-School Code Section 339 on career education and American School Counselor Association standards. Specific goals include career lesson activities and plan development across all grade levels (K-12), school readiness and academically focused lessons, and social-emotional learning with conflict resolution and stress management programs. The plan details delivery systems for elementary, middle, and high school, with a focus on preparing students for academic transitions and post-secondary success.

The meeting included discussions and approvals regarding a range of topics, including financial activities such as treasurer's reports and payment of bills, personnel actions including resignations, appointments, and leaves of absence, and various committee reports. Approvals were given for agreements and contracts with external organizations for services such as beverage supply, substitute teachers, tennis court resurfacing, pre-K food programs, counseling services, special education, language instruction, career planning software, ambulance service, dual enrollment, and student preparation field experiences. Additional approvals covered agreements related to speech-language pathology, nutrition programs, literacy instructional tools, social work services, training programs, online campus materials, fundraisers, cyber education services, and a memorandum of understanding with George Junior Republic and Affiliates. The board also discussed and approved items related to transportation and food services, including menu pricing, transportation schedules, transportation contracts, and the purchase of a district van and a commercial dishwasher.

The comprehensive plan focuses on the continuous improvement of leadership, teaching, and learning to ensure all students have access to a world-class education. It emphasizes evidence-based approaches to improve student outcomes and increase return on investment. The plan also involves engaging all stakeholders in pursuing a shared vision for student success.

The board meeting agenda includes the approval of various resolutions. Key discussion points include personnel actions (resignations, appointments, leaves of absence), financial activities (treasurer's report, payment of bills, engagement agreement renewal), and agreements related to real estate sales, system of care partnerships, pre-k counts food programs, IDEA funding, field placements, and student teaching affiliations with various universities. Additionally, the agenda includes committee reports, updates on school safety, and future meeting dates.
