District highlights Healthy South Texas designation and expands counseling, virtual services and career centers
Summary
RFISD announced that every school in the district has been designated a Healthy South Texas school this year, and the board heard a detailed counseling‑department plan that includes a comprehensive RFISD counseling model, Daybreak Health virtual counseling (free to district but billed to parents’ insurance/Medicaid), wellness centers on campuses and expanded career exploration centers.
The Rockport‑Fulton ISD board heard two complementary presentations on Sept. 16 about student health and counseling supports: a Healthy South Texas designation overview and a district‑wide counseling model intended to expand prevention, guidance and career counseling.
Megan Glidden of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension said the district’s participation helped lead to a rare outcome: "This is the first year that every school within the district is designated a Healthy South Texas school," she said, describing programming that includes family‑focused nutrition and activity initiatives such as Walk Across Texas and other school wellness activities that contributed to statewide reporting.
