District to pilot Behavioral Health Liaison through West Branch Drug & Alcohol at no cost
Summary
The board approved an agreement with West Branch Drug & Alcohol to provide a Behavioral Health Liaison pilot program to the district at no cost. The motion passed unanimously on April 13.
The South Williamsport Area School Board approved an agreement to pilot a Behavioral Health Liaison provided by West Branch Drug & Alcohol at no cost to the district. The measure, moved by Dr. Kimberly Kohler and seconded by John Hitesman, passed by unanimous roll-call vote. The minutes record the program as a pilot with no district cost noted.
The pilot places a liaison to address student behavioral health needs through a community partner rather than using district-only resources. The minutes do not specify the liaison’s caseload, schedule, reporting structure, or evaluation metrics; those implementation details will be handled administratively as the pilot begins.
