Thank you for your interest in Non-Educational Community Based Support Services. Parents/Guardians wishing to access services should contact their child’s school and request a meeting to discuss the need for non-educational services. School districts and charter schools that choose to apply for non-educational funds must have a planning meeting to discuss options for non-educational services. Persons attending and participating in this meeting should include district staff knowledgeable about the student, and representatives from the local mental health agency or the local Community Resource Coordination Groups of Texas, or other service providers, and the parents. The student’s admission, review, and dismissal committee may not serve as this planning group and should not make the decision regarding services.
Once it has been determined what services are needed, the local education agency contacts the regional education service center to obtain directions and procedures for applying.
The program authority can be found at Texas Education Code Chapter 29.013.
