Yes, Whatcom County government (in Washington State) has codified a "one-tenth of one percent" of all sales tax for the county to go toward mental/behavioral health efforts specifically in county public school systems. This effort has resulted in a tremendous (and stable) funding source for districts throughout the Whatcom County region to apply the funds in accordance with best-practices and under the approval of the Whatcom County Health Department. An example of these efforts can be found in the Board agenda a few years back, located here: http://www.co.whatcom.wa.us/Ag...292013-648?html=true
I have personally shared/testified at the Whatcom County Board meeting in the past as a district representative re: our outcomes/data that we track. We focused on a number of items pertaining to implementation of Washington's "Creating Compassionate Schools Initiative." It is referenced in the Board agenda (at the link above).
On the basis of my work as a district-level administrator in WA and connected to this work with multiple agencies in a systems of care model, I developed an online college accredited course called "Creating Compassionate Schools" which is available nationally through a number of universities (Humboldt State (CA), Seattle Pacific University (WA), Aurora University (IL), etc). It is also available in large districts such as New York City and LAUSD. It's also available just about everywhere in between!
If you have any interest in connecting further on my own work, or those here in Whatcom County - feel free to say so here, reach out via dialogue box, or contact me directly (stevendahl641@gmail.com).
