Wellness committee selects Thrive Alliance Group for counseling services; district to staff two counselors
Summary
The board’s wellness committee reported that an RFP for clinicians drew a higher‑service, lower‑cost proposal from Thrive Alliance Group and that staffing will move from three to two counselors based on caseloads; the change was announced June 15.
During the board meeting June 15 the East Windsor Regional School District’s wellness committee reported work on mental‑health supports and a recent procurement for clinicians.
Committee members said that the district issued an RFP for clinician services and that Thrive Alliance Group was selected after presenting a higher level of service and a better price than the prior vendor (referred to in the meeting as Ruckers). Committee representatives said the district will staff two clinicians rather than three, citing caseload considerations; the committee framed the change as a service‑level and fiscal decision and said implementation will reflect caseload sizing.
The wellness report also reviewed a district climate survey with roughly 2,700 respondents and noted strengths in peer and teacher relationships, classroom practices, and a modest decline in absenteeism from 10.5% last year to 9.8% this year.
Board members did not vote on the vendor selection during the public session and indicated administrative follow‑up would provide further implementation detail.
