Thoughts? 00:45:36 Patrick Hickman: Great questions 00:47:08 Sarah Frazelle; she/her; PSESD: I have concerns that our area does not have enough mental health providers to serve students and which students have access is inequitable. So it feels like a bandaid. I also hear many adults still holding stigmas around mental health so tracking is still an issue 00:48:32 Lisa Harney, MA: How do we address the learning loss that will happen? 00:49:38 Amanda Cully: Thank you. There have been a lot of barriers to schools accepting this reason :( 00:50:39 Hedy Chang, AW: If you haven't already, please go to the three dots on your zoom picture, click rename and add in your state or org to your zoom name. (I did it for a few of you:) 01:02:09 Sarah Frazelle; she/her; PSESD: Are you seeing that the supply of school mental health professionals are able to meet the need of all students who are needing the support? I’m also really curious about the types of T1 strategies are being used to support student mental health. I’ve been getting questions around T1 & T2 supports from the districts in my region. Anything you can share? 01:06:30 Andrea D. Hayes: Andrea Hayes, Louisiana Attendance Specialist 01:06:41 Shelneka Adams CWA-LDOE: What about number of days? Are the number of days used associated with a tiered-level of support? 01:07:23 Sarah Frazelle; she/her; PSESD: Thank you, Alex! That was helpful 01:09:18 Alex Javna, Virginia Dept. of Education: You are welcome! 01:10:08 Shelneka Adams CWA-LDOE: Thank you Alex! 01:10:28 Alex Javna, Virginia Dept. of Education: You are welcome! Thanks for the question. 01:11:28 Hedy Chang, AW: If you have joined recently, please share your name, position, state/organization in the chat and if you can, add your organization/name to you zoom name. 01:15:37 Bridget Underdahl (she/her) - OSPI- WA: https://www.k12.wa.us/student-success/support-programs/attendance-chronic-absenteeism-and-truancy/mental-health-related-absences 01:19:22 Sarah Frazelle; she/her; PSESD: Thank you, Krissy and Bridget - appreciate all the work you both have done in moving this work forward in WA. The devil is in the details, but we’re definitely moving in the right direction 🙂 01:19:42 Susan Lieberman, she/her: Washington ESDs=Educational Service Districts 01:19:48 Krissy Johnson (she/her) | Washington State: @Sarah - thank you:) 01:20:24 Marnie Jewell, OR: Thank you, WA friends! So much to learn from our neighbors! 01:20:25 Krissy Johnson (she/her) | Washington State: Here's our Mental Health Absences webpage: https://www.k12.wa.us/student-success/support-programs/attendance-chronic-absenteeism-and-truancy/mental-health-related-absences  01:21:24 Krissy Johnson (she/her) | Washington State: I will also add: this bill passed our legislature unanimously. 01:23:48 Krissy Johnson (she/her) | Washington State: I think the motivation in our state was the belief and experience of students that these absences were not excused, and probably got push back or unhelpful attitudes from school staff. 01:25:27 Shelneka Adams CWA-LDOE: Thanks for the framing Hedy! 01:26:32 Krissy Johnson (she/her) | Washington State: well said, Saskia! 01:27:23 Andrea D. Hayes: I agree absences "happen" and are not always wrong but sometimes are "necessary". 01:32:13 Sarah Frazelle; she/her; PSESD: Education for all of the adults - parents & education staff - is so important in all of this 01:34:35 CT - Kari Sullivan Custer - CT STate Dept of Education: So, nice to hear how other states are addressing this issue of mental health supports for students and facing similar challenges. 01:34:54 Krissy Johnson (she/her) | Washington State: I also get really concerned about relying on mental health absence data because of the highly variable reporting from parents and highly variable school climate or responses to mental health absences- I would not want folks to make assumptions that we are identifying all students; and miss out on the students or parents who are simply reporting their student as ill. 01:35:19 Alex Javna, Virginia Dept. of Education: Great points, Krissy. 01:36:07 Lori Masseur- AZ: That’s a great point Krissy, especially as we consider targeted supports for families, staff, and adults. 01:40:13 Marnie Jewell, OR: CA is embedded into a new approach aligning six iniatitives...not a stand alone. It is a huge lift in our office currently. 01:40:31 Krissy Johnson (she/her) | Washington State: We partner with our School Improvement team. Our support and partnership has focused on building the capacity of the cadre of school improvement coaches (by including them in Attendance Works and other attendance focused PD). 01:41:27 Aveene Coleman, SC: SC Attendance Peer Learning Community for districts with high chronic absenteeism rates. 01:42:31 Alex Javna, Virginia Dept. of Education: I would love to hear about the peer learning community! Are there presentations followed by discussion? 01:44:58 Susan Lieberman, she/her: CT LEAP=Learner Engagement and Attendance Program 01:46:13 Susan Lieberman, she/her: Attendance Works E-Learning Series https://www.attendanceworks.org/technical-assistance/e-learning-series-for-educators/ 01:48:34 Inika Williams, Ed.D., Attendance Works: https://jamboard.google.com/d/1WVrJqQLKiPM-N0OC5W1Cv2QQkmNp9Hc79mfuQjRl1YU/viewer?f=0 01:49:15 Sarah Frazelle; she/her; PSESD: Thank you to all who have presented!
