School district gets mental health contribution

The State College Area School District was awarded about $374,000 through the U.S. Department of Education’s Grants for the addition of Schools and Mental Health Systems Program, administered by the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools.



With help from the funds, the district will try to improve student access to mental health services. The district will be partnering with Penn State’s Psychology Clinic, Centre County Mental Health and Mental Retardation office, and Centre County audition and Parole office. The grant is for two years, from July 2010 through June 2012. Nationally, only 16 applicants established funds.
