Promoting Behavioral Health Supports through School Attendance/Climate Committees (HB763)

This year, the Georgia General Assembly passed and the Governor signed HB 763, which requires each county’s Student Attendance Protocol Committee to include reviewing school climate as part of the committee’s responsibilities. This presentation would explain the new aspects of this law and how these committees may be leveraged to advocate for school climate reform and increased behavioral health supports. We will present an example of how a committee has successfully organized to promote school climate change. The strategies and information will empower parents and communities to access these services for their children. GA Appleseed Staff Attorney, Terrence Wilson will take participants through the aspects of the new law and outline the requirements explain what the committee is now empowered to do. GA Appleseed Executive Director Talley Wells will then talk about the different mental and behavioral supports that are available for students for which these committees should be advocating. Chad Jones will then present on the services that are available through Georgia Apex, Project Aware, and other wraparound service providers. Judge Turner will then present the history of her pathways program and how they have successfully advocated for school climate reform in their jurisdiction

Balancing Security And Access In The Nation\u27s Capital: Managing Federal Security-Related Street Closures And Traffic Restrictions In The District Of Columbia

This report was prepared in December 2003 in order to stimulate a dialogue on the role the District of Columbia government should play with the federal government in attempting to achieve an appropriate balance between physical security and open access to public space when deciding on traffic restrictions around or near federal buildings or federal sites in the District of Columbia. A summary of this report was presented at the UDC/DCSL Law Review November 2003 symposium In the Aftermath of September 11: Defending Civil liberties in the Nation\u27s Capital. Since this report was prepared there has been an ebb and flow of traffic restrictions imposed and rescinded at various times in line with varying security concerns, usually with little prior consultation with the District government. This report is presented here largely as it was written in December 2003, without attempting to update it to reflect subsequent developments. While the details of the restrictions may change from day to day, the basic concerns outlined in the report and the recommendations for improving coordination between the federal and District governments are still relevant today
