Board ends Southwest Behavioral Health services agreement for Fulton opportunity program after grant-funded social worker placed on site
Summary
The board unanimously approved termination of an elementary alternative education opportunity agreement with Southwest Behavioral Health Services Inc., citing the assignment of a full‑time school social worker to Fulton Elementary through an Arizona Department of Education grant and low program enrollment.
Chandler Unified's governing board voted unanimously Aug. 6 to terminate the elementary alternative education opportunity agreement with Southwest Behavioral Health Services Inc. (SBH), effective July 29, 2025, district staff said.
The termination follows an assessment by district staff that Fulton Elementary — where the district's elementary opportunity program is housed — had been awarded a full‑time school social worker under the Arizona Department of Education school safety grant. Staff and SBH agreed the social worker could provide the counseling supports previously anticipated under the SBH agreement.
