La Grande SD explores Recovery School partnership to support students with substance-use and behavioral-health needs
Summary
Superintendent George Mendoza told trustees the district is exploring a possible partnership with the State of Oregon to establish a Recovery School intended to support students with substance use and behavioral health challenges.
Superintendent George Mendoza told the La Grande School District board on Oct. 9 that the district is exploring a possible partnership with the State of Oregon to bring a Recovery School to the area. Recovery Schools are designed to support students with substance-use and behavioral-health challenges; Mendoza described the option as an avenue to better serve students with those needs.
The presentation was informational: no formal motion or funding decision was made at the meeting. Trustees noted facility and staffing implications, and Mendoza said facility upgrades remain a district priority concurrent with such program discussions. Any formal next steps or agreements would require future board action and, likely, coordination with state agencies.
