[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basically, special interest groups and the director were involved with this decision... I see no evidence of public or council engagement prior to this decision.  See below:

Response from SY 16 Oversight Committee Questions: Pages 173-174

During FY16, the DBH director convened an interagency group known as the Behavioral Health Working Group (BWG) to re-envision a comprehensive plan with a strategy for expanding early  childhood and school based behavioral health programs and services to all schools by School Year 17/18. The BWG was comprised of several District agencies including DBH, DOH, DCPS,DCPCS, Friends of Choice in Urban Schools (FOCUS), child advocates and other community
partners...

Once approved, a Stakeholder Engagement Plan will be established and implemented during the SYR 16-17 for education and engagement regarding the re-visioning of the DBH clinician’s role within the framework of the re-structured school-based behavioral health model. This stakeholder communication, education, and engagement will occur prior to the projected SY 17-18 rollout of the re-visioned scope of  services and role of a DBH clinician in the schools.[/quote]

Looks like that Stakeholder Engagement Plan worked... lmao.

Why no media coverage on this???  Pat Collins would have a field day[/quote]
