Board reviews Bradley Center school-based mental-health services and special-education contract capped at $43,200 per student
Summary
Administrators presented a school-based mental-health (SBMH) agreement with the Bradley Center for 2026–27 (no direct cost to district; services billed to family insurance unless addendum services apply) and an educational-services contract for special-education placements not to exceed $43,200 per student (anticipated two students).
The Mount Lebanon School District board reviewed two related agreements April 6: a school-based mental-health services contract with the Bradley Center and an educational-services contract for specialized special-education placements.
An administrator outlined the Bradley Center’s SBMH model, saying it "brings together schools, county mental health programs, and community resources to develop a continuum of services that enable children to have their educational and mental health needs met within their school setting." The presenter said the program offers a tiered approach—including assessments, individual and family therapy, psychiatric services and medication management—and that services are accessed through families’ medical insurance with no direct cost to the district; additional services may incur costs as specified in an addendum.
Separately, administrators presented an educational-services agreement for Mount Lebanon exceptional students for 2026–27 with an anticipated two students and a maximum cost not to exceed $43,200 per student.
The superintendent recommended approval of both agreements. Board members did not record additional public comment on the items in the transcript excerpt.
Next steps: Both agreements were presented for board consideration and would be acted on according to the board’s approval process (superintendent recommended approval at the April 6 meeting).
