A local school district has a little more money to support mental health care for students.
Edgerton School District Director of Pupil Services Drew Wellman says the $3000 anonymous donation will give students a chance to see a clinician, if they can’t afford treatment.
Wellman says over the years he’s seen a real increase in the need for mental health services.
The district offers mental health services through Beloit based Stateline Mental Health Services.
Students are referred by parents or district staff, and treatment costs are covered by insurance or cash payments.
