Summary
The board approved a consultant agreement renewal with Taking Time South Bay to provide individual and group counseling for students experiencing divorce or separation; staff said services are grant‑funded and thus carry no district fiscal impact.
The board approved renewing a consultant agreement with Taking Time South Bay to provide counseling groups and individual services for students experiencing divorce or separation. Staff described the program as grant‑funded and said there is no financial impact on the district; the nonprofit’s local leader (a former district parent) helped bring the program to Hermosa schools and counselors will identify students who are already on counselors’ radars for early outreach.
Board members asked about program length and referral processes; staff said they would follow up with exact grant‑length details and described a model that includes both on‑site services and referral coordination with school counselors.
