Maple hires full-time psychologist to expand student mental-health supports
Summary
The Maple Elementary School District reported that Mrs. Ayala is now serving full time as the district psychologist, providing anxiety supports, dyslexia screenings and participating in resource meetings; Superintendent Bryan Easter said her LVN certification and presence have benefited students and staff.
President Tyler Rogers opened the Sept. 11 meeting of the Maple Elementary School District Board of Trustees, where staff introduced a staffing update for student supports.
Mrs. Ayala, identified in the minutes as the Maple psychologist, told trustees she is grateful for the opportunity to serve full time and outlined responsibilities that include supporting students with emotional anxiety, conducting dyslexia screenings and participating in resource activities and meetings. Superintendent Bryan Easter commended Mrs. Ayala, saying she is an important asset to the school and noted her LVN certification.
Why it matters: The board’s recognition of a full-time psychologist reflects district focus on in-school supports for student mental health and learning needs. Trustees did not take formal action on the position at this meeting; the minutes record the presentation and praise from district leadership.
