Board hears update on MTSS, wellness centers and new CYBHI billing
Summary
District staff reported MTSS priorities and wellness-center funding; Dr. Santa Maria said LCAP funds plus CYBHI-related billing and VCOE partnerships are helping onboard services and the district expects wellness centers at every site after planned expansions.
The board heard details about the district's multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) and wellness centers. Melissa (S6) listed past MTSS actions, including targeted interventions and establishing wellness centers at Bedell and Graceville. When a trustee asked about funding levels, Dr. Santa Maria (S8) said LCAP had allocated "for the 2627 year about $75,000 to support the wellness centers," and described CYBHI onboarding, a Healthy Campus billing platform and a county consortium approach to expand billable services.
Trustees and staff discussed billing mechanics (Medi‑Cal and CYBHI) and other external grants supporting wellness efforts. Board members noted the district had generated about $1.5 million the prior year through Medi‑Cal-related billing (2526), a figure referenced conversationally and not broken down in the transcript. Staff said some services are billable until a student becomes eligible for special education and explained training efforts for counseling and mental‑health providers.
