The most recent round of federal funding went to the University of the Incarnate Word to help place more mental health professionals in our schools.
Some of the funding went to districts like SAISD strictly to increase the physical safety of the campuses, called “hardening schools.” They are installing extra cameras, buying new radio systems, stronger glass, and more protective doors, among other efforts.
As UIW adds Occupational Therapy to its School of Physical Therapy, the $5.2 million would be distributed over five years. Campbell said occupational therapists must be utilized for school mental health teams. She mentioned that as she spoke on a panel Tuesday when U.S. Sen. John Cornyn visited San Antonio to see how the federal money was being spent.First, part of the funds would be used to place eight UIW graduate occupational therapy students and five school psychology students at Southside and South San Antonio ISD campuses.
“It takes a while. You can’t just turn it on. You have to have the trained professionals, which takes time. And I appreciate the educational institutions that are involved in that,” Cornyn said.
