Vision Mission Values All students prepared for post-secondary pathways, careers, and civic engagement. Transform K– 12 education to a system that is centered on closing opportunity gaps and is characterized by high expectations for all students and educators. We achieve this by developing equitybased policies and supports that empower educators, families, and communities. • • Ensuring Equity Collaboration and Service Achieving Excellence through Continuous Improvement Focus on the Whole Child

Equity Statement Each student, family, and community possesses strengths and cultural knowledge that benefits their peers, educators, and schools. Ensuring educational equity: • Goes beyond equality; it requires education leaders to examine the ways current policies and practices result in disparate outcomes for our students of color, students living in poverty, students receiving special education and English Learner services, students who identify as LGBTQ+, and highly mobile student populations. • Requires education leaders to develop an understanding of historical contexts; engage students, families, and community representatives as partners in decision-making; and actively dismantle systemic barriers, replacing them with policies and practices that ensure all students have access to the instruction and support they need to succeed in our schools.

Office of System & School Improvement Study Focus on schools identified for supports We believe we are more likely to see school improvement across multiple measures if we: Support Connect programming to specific needs Serve Build the health of systems Elevate Provide professional learning on data inquiry and supportive resources and tools 10

Mental Health and Well Being During School Closure OSPI and Community/Agency Resources

Resources for Educators Confident Action and Referral By Educators (CARE) CARE is a research-backed, web-based course to provide educators and other school staff guidance to help students who may be going through difficult times. It is designed to give educators the tools and confidence to identify students who may be at risk for emotional or behavioral distress, including suicide, substance use, violence, and sexual abuse. CARE will help all school staff understand when and how to intervene and make referrals to counselors and mental health professionals, based on their district’s policy and procedure. CARE is available to everyone who works with students in Washington State, from administrators to support staff. Counselors, psychologists, social workers, and nurses can take the course, but it does not meet the course requirement for certification or recertification. Those courses can be found on the Professional Educator Standards Board website. CARE may be taken individually or in a group and can be accessed here k 12. wa. us/CAREModule

Resources for Families Seattle Children’s Mental health Referral Service for Children and Teens Families can call 1 -833 -303 -5437, Monday through Friday from 8– 5 pm, to connect with a referral specialist.

How are we at OSPI Engaging in Support Continuous and on-going communication with state agencies and our ESD’s sharing resources and developing support tools. Participation in webinars, think tanks, and JIC communication calls. Planning for implementation of Behavioral Health Navigators in all nine ESD’s across our state. Planning support through legislative funding to address specific district/school needs related to behavioral health and suicide prevention as we approach re-entry for students in the future.
