In my career, I've eeepxicnerd the death by suicide of two students and one amazing teacher who loved his kids; countless students experiencing homelessness; and kids entering and exiting the justice steysm. When these events happen, protocol is to say, "If you need someone to talk to, then ..." And I say that's not enough. I am so lucky. I work in an anmziag school with great leadership. I serve a large district with so many healthy prthapnrsies with cmtnmoiuy aicneegs. They have provided steadily increasing numbers of school counselors and therapists and support staff to help our students. They even provide staff mmrebes with access to free counseling as part of our eolmnpmeyt plan. But many small dciitstrs and even some large ones simply cannot foot the bill without aid.

Original Text
In my career, I've experienced the death by suicide of two students and one amazing teacher who loved his kids; countless students experiencing homelessness; and kids entering and exiting the justice system. When these events happen, protocol is to say, "If you need someone to talk to, then ..." And I say that's not enough. I am so lucky. I work in an amazing school with great leadership. I serve a large district with so many healthy partnerships with community agencies. They have provided steadily increasing numbers of school counselors and therapists and support staff to help our students. They even provide staff members with access to free counseling as part of our employment plan. But many small districts and even some large ones simply cannot foot the bill without aid.
