County reports school satellite expansion, Washingtonville sites eligible for OMH startup funds
Summary
Orange County said it received operating certificates for Washingtonville High School and Middle School, making those satellites eligible for OMH startup funds; Port Jervis and Valley Central satellite applications are underway.
Commissioner Trimble told the board that the department's school satellite program is progressing: operating certificates were received for Washingtonville High School and Middle School, which makes those two locations eligible for OMH startup funds. Applications for Port Jervis and Valley Central School satellites are in progress and the Goshen administrative building satellite application is being processed.
Board member Sandra Brownsey asked how the school satellites operate and how students access services; Trimble's remarks indicated the program is intended to increase school‑based access to mental health services though the minutes do not include operational details or schedules for services at each school.
