Solano County Office of Education’s Priority Areas • School Safety & Student Wellness • High Quality Teaching & Learning Environments • Job Readiness & Skill Development • Education Advocacy & Leadership • Equity & Enrichment for All Students • Fiscal Stability for Solano School Districts

SUPERINTENDENT’S CORNER Wrapping up the 2021-22 school year, I am incredibly proud of the $13.8 million of additional resources that Solano County Office of Education (SCOE) has been able to secure to enrich learning for our young people in Solano County. This issue of the SCOE Spotlight highlights just some of the important work we are doing, particularly in the areas of school safety, mental health and student wellness.

This year, the SCOE team focused on support and responsiveness for Solano educators and families, as we all navigated what may be the most challenging year we have experienced. While school districts and charter schools have jurisdiction over their own policies and practices, SCOE works with educators, families, and the community to identify gaps, bridge resources, offer supports and bring community partners together to improve educational opportunities and outcomes for Solano students.

Our country continues to face a horrible epidemic of gun violence that threatens schools and the life of students and staff. As we move forward toward the 2022-23 school year, we will continue to listen, learn and share school safety resources and professional learning opportunities with local educational agencies. Important resources help schools continuously evaluate, enhance and sustain comprehensive safety plans for students and staff.

Together, as a community, I know we will continue to accomplish extraordinary things for our students.

SCOE Spotlight

School safety is a complex subject, and at the heart of a safe and healthy school is a positive culture where students and staff feel supported, understood and valued, providing a strong foundation for developing resiliency, perseverance and a positive sense of self.

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based, tiered framework for supporting students’ behavioral, academic, social, emotional, and mental health. When implemented with fidelity, PBIS improves social emotional competence, academic success, and school culture. It also improves teacher health and wellbeing. PBIS is a way to create positive, predictable, equitable and safe learning environments where everyone thrives. In keeping with SCOE's core values of providing leadership, collaboration and support, we have hired a remarkable Prevention and Early Intervention Supports and Services Coordinator to assist school districts and charter schools with enhancing or implementing robust PBIS systems.

SCOE Spotlight

Solano County Office of Education

Supporting Students’ Well-Being Solano County Office of Education (SCOE) has been an active partner in the Solano community advocating and working for more robust supports for the social and emotional needs of Solano students. Systems of support for students are in high demand, and SCOE is well positioned to support the Solano educators who are supporting students.

Solano County School Wellness Center Initiative

School Safety & Student Wellness

SCOE acquired three grants totaling $1,763,530 to support the establishment of school-based wellness centers across Solano County. To date, 45 centers have been opened in Solano County, helping to position schools to better serve the social and emotional needs of students. Wellness centers are intended to create a positive culture around mental health on school campuses, reducing negative stigmas.

School-Based Wellness Centers Offer Students: Culturally inclusive spaces to decompress for 10-20 minutes, art, meditation, music, check-ins with trusted adults, stigma reduction, suicide prevention supports, trainings, student groups/workshops, and access points for students who need higher level services.

Video Mental Health Trainings Solano County Behavioral Health (SCBH) and the Solano County Office of Education (SCOE) received a Mental Health Student Services Act (MHSSA) grant award of $4 million funded over five years, which will 4

expand mental health services and supports for students in K-12 school sites across Solano County. With this funding, SCOE provides trainings in suicide prevention, behavior management and more. SCOE also provides student social emotional learning (SEL) workshops for classrooms and small groups around social skills, anger management, antibullying, safe social media, etc.

School-Based Mobile Crisis Services Through a contract from Solano County Behavioral Health (SCBH), SCOE is providing school-based mobile crisis services and screening/assessment services. The new services are being implemented in collaboration with the county, school districts and school sites, local police departments and community partners.

Additionally, SCOE has hired and trained clinicians as crisis specialists to respond to crisis situations on K-12 school campuses serving children and youth experiencing a mental health crisis. Calls for service to school sites are frequent, demonstrating a significant need for mental health supports.

The robust system of supports that SCOE provides to Solano public schools is offered at different tiers.

Tier 1 Supports Include: Suicide prevention training, technical assistance and consultation for suicide prevention plans, crisis protocols, crisis response, building parent liaison teams to provide support to families needing assistance with mental health concerns.

School Safety & Student Wellness

All students in need will be served with the mission of de-escalating situations, linking families to necessary services, and supporting the coordination of care.

School-based mobile crisis services provided through SCOE differ slightly from the community-based mobile crisis services provided by SCBH. The SCOE team specializes in supporting schools and districts and are a key local education agency (LEA) partner familiar with school communities and protocols.

Mental Health System Supports for Schools

Tier 2 Supports Include: Screenings and assessments for students identified as at risk for dropping out of school, deeper crisis evaluation and safety planning, schools based mobile crisis intervention, 5150 hold and transport arrangement.

School Safety Planning School Safety & Student Wellness

As incidents of school violence continue across the country, educators are continuously looking to enhance emergency plans. School safety cannot be built solely around lockdown and run-hide-fight drills. Addressing school safety should also include systems of interventions and supports that involve all school employees, public safety partners, students, parents and guardians. In response to school violence and threats, the Solano County Office of Education maintains a robust collection of resources to support Solano schools in enhancing school safety plans with emphasis on preparedness, prevention, intervention, response and recovery.

Tapping National Data & Research The National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) is a component of the Secret Service and U.S. Homeland Security. The center’s staff is composed of a multidisciplinary team of social science researchers and regional program managers who support law enforcement, schools, government, and other public and private sector organizations to combat the threat of targeted violence impacting communities across the U.S. NTAC has published these documents to address threats of violence:

SCOE’s Girls in Robotics Leadership Camps SCOE hosted free Girls In Robotics Leadership (GIRL) camps for more than 80 middle and high school girls throughout Solano County. The week-long camps were a partnership with UC Davis Computing-Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (C-STEM). GIRL camps provide opportunities for Solano County students to learn leadership skills as well as STEM and coding concepts through a fun and exciting robotics-based curriculum. This year, SCOE offered GIRL camps for middle schoolers and a GIRL+ camp for high school girls.

GIRLS campers practiced teamwork, communication, robotics, video production, principles in engineering, and Ch/C/C++ (programming code) and more. They were able to meet with females from engineering and other technology-related companies such as ENGIE and Collins Aerospace.
