With the Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School Board set to discuss the recent award of
$5.7 million for mental health services, Lieutenant Governor Suzanne Crouch is sending congratulations to the local school district.

In a letter dated February 7 that Crouch sent to Superintendent Yvonne Stokes, it says, in part – “This grant will allow you and your staff to provide much needed supports to countless more students, which in turn, will help them continue to succeed in their academic pursuits.”

The Lieutenant Governor says in the missive that with the COVID-19 aftermath, support provided by the grant will be “life changing for many families.”

The HSE School Board plans a work session at 5pm Wednesday to discuss the $5.7 million dollar mental health award, and has an information item on the agenda for the regular board meeting starting Wednesday at 7pm to further discuss the grant.
