More and more students in Alabama are back in classrooms, but questions of how to keep track of students who miss in-person or remote school during the pandemic remain.
Alabama does not have a statewide estimate of absenteeism or how many students have silently left classrooms at some point during the school year during the pandemic. An estimate that 9,800 fewer students enrolled in public school this fall does not capture the scale of a potential dropout, truancy or absentee problem or lack thereof.
Educators rally for funds to expand mental health services
State looks to expand school mental health services By Jennifer Horton | January 27, 2021 at 7:27 PM CST - Updated January 27 at 7:27 PM
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - Mental health coordinators in nearly every school district across the state are the latest public school champions in Alabama.
The Alabama Legislature allocated $4.5 million dollars to fund positions for 102 licensed social workers in public schools starting in October 2020. In three short months the coordinators have already seen thousands of students.
Assistant State Superintendent Terry Roller says the coordinators are akin to air traffic controllers.
“As the children’s needs come in we call them in and disperse them to the right program, or the right person, or the right support,” Roller explained.
