FY21: Due to COVID, WCPS has moved to virtual learning and the vendor has been doing telehealth with the students. With virtual learning the vendor has been upable to receive updates on students attendance.

In FY18,  247 surveys were returned from a total of 721 individuals showing that 133 participants (54%) had increased attendance compared to the 186 surveys that were returned from a total of 603 individuals in FY17. In FY18, the vendor added a "not applicable" option to the survey question regarding increased attendance where in years past, the student would have to choose either yes or no. In FY18 because some of the students chose "not applicable", it reduced the numbers being reported for increased attendance.

Washington County Public Schools and the administration, teachers, and guidance counselors are partners by promoting the program throughout each school and helping to identify students who can utilize mental health services being offered. 

Schools that maintain the same therapist from previous years had a higher number of students participate in the program due to the comfort level of the students and schools with the therapist.
