As the role of the County Offices of Education continues to evolve, this conference is dedicated to providing COE board members with the tools and information to empower them to be effective elected education leaders. This year’s sessions will address governance during challenging times, focusing on the unique responsibilities that differentiate county school board members from district board members. Be inspired as you leave with new ideas for serving students.

This panel will look at plans for expanded mental health services, including the Community Schools movement and the Governor’s Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI), in the context of county offices and their roles in implementation. In addition, we will examine the role of Technical Assistance and the potential impact of expanded mental health services in schools and communities for children, youth, and families.
