The county will give each school district the grant directly, which will then distribute the funding to area nonprofits or groups who are likely already working on mental health issues within schools, such as Communities in Schools.“That’s one of the reasons that we partner with organizations like Communities in Schools, because what they do is, they try to find matching funds, which make it more affordable for school districts to have this staff,” Jones told reporters after the court’s meeting.

Right now, each part of the system operates in silos, “creating conflicting and confusing outcomes for the victims,” Lozito told the court. “We may not be using best practices to address family violence issues.”
