According to the PA 2024 State of Education Report, 66% of PA schools said that student mental health issues are their biggest concern. In the report school leaders reported that on average 46.4% of their students have some degree of mental health need. With nearly 1.7 million students enrolled in PA schools, this means over 750,000 students have some degree of mental health needs in PA. While PA ranks 11th nationally in spending per student, only a little over 1% of school spending is dedicated to health and mental health services. When students have unaddressed mental health needs, it is hard for them to focus on learning. I encourage you to use your vote to elect leaders who will help ensure that schools are funded appropriately, and that the mental health needs or students don’t continue to go unfulfilled. https://www.psba.org/2024-state-of-education-report/

These are the archives of the Social Action Minutes presented at our Sunday services. If you missed a service, or are interested in the topic, you can revisit it and get information here. Archives
