Governor Announces 95% of Ohio Schools
Offer Prevention-Focused Services
|
|
(COLUMBUS,
Ohio)—Ohio Governor Mike DeWine today announced that his initiatives
to increase Ohio students’ access to services that help prevent or
intervene in emotional, behavioral, and mental health disorders have
hit a new milestone with the release of the 2020-2021 Prevention
Services Data Report. The report shows that 95% of Ohio schools
offered prevention-focused programs and supports, while more than
81% of schools offered prevention-focused curricula.
“Providing students with the tools they need to better cope with
life stressors in healthy, safe, supportive ways helps individuals
build resiliency and reduces risk factors,” said Governor DeWine.
“Prevention services are part of educating the whole child, meeting
their wellness, as well as their academic needs. This approach sets
them up for success throughout their lives.”
“This report shows how Ohio schools are supporting student wellness
work through an outstanding increase of prevention programming and
supports,” Interim Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr.
Stephanie Siddens said. “Prevention education helps students build
the resiliency skills needed to overcome life’s obstacles and fully
engage in learning.”
Other takeaways from the report include:
Nearly 90% of schools reported partnering with community coalitions,
organizations, or other external agencies to provide prevention
services and resources to families. This 50% increase from the
previous academic year likely is related to additional state funding
that was used to build community partnerships with the ultimate goal
of providing evidence-informed prevention services for every child,
in every grade, in every school.
Almost 90% of schools reported efforts to engage parents and
families in prevention-focused services.
More than 93% of schools reported offering some type of
prevention-focused professional development and training for school
personnel, and 72% of schools reported participating in some type of
prevention-focused professional and peer learning during the
2020-2021 school year.
Governor DeWine established the Student Wellness and Success
program, which has dedicated $1.2 billion in funding for schools to
provide mental, behavioral, and physical health programs to their
students since 2019. The Student Wellness and Success program now is
part of the current funding formula. In addition, Governor DeWine
secured $20 million in funding in the 2020-2021 budget for
prevention education and professional development.
