Board approves MOU with Timber View Wellness Center to expand student behavioral health access
Summary
The board unanimously approved a memorandum of understanding with Timber View Wellness Center to provide behavioral health and wellness support services to students at no cost to the district, intended to expand access while current providers are at capacity.
The board approved a memorandum of understanding with Timber View Wellness Center to "enhance the overall well-being, academic success, and emotional health of students through coordinated behavioral health and wellness support services at no cost to the district." Tangela Oliver moved the recommendation and Dr. Renada Greer seconded; the roll‑call vote was unanimous.
Assistant Superintendent Brooke Kensler told the board the district’s current mental health providers (Centerstone, Shawnee and Stress and Trauma) are at capacity and there is a student waitlist. The MOU is described in the minutes as an additional provider option to operate in the district under the same consent and billing procedures used with other partners.
