The Benicia Unified School District Board of Trustees approved a memorandum of understanding with the Wright Institute to define expectations for internship field placements of Wright Institute students.

District staff presented the agreement as a partnership to allow Wright Institute trainees to complete public‑school field placements and deliver mental‑health support services as part of their clinical training. Dr. Jennings summarized the MOU’s purpose as describing and confirming expectations and responsibilities so students can gain experience in public school settings and provide mental‑health support as they complete training.

A trustee moved to approve the MOU and the board adopted the agreement by voice vote. The meeting record did not include specific placement counts, supervision ratios, or funding arrangements; it recorded only staff recommendation and board approval.
