Texas has a severe shortage in school psychologists - just 1 per 2,600 students (1:500 is recommended ratio). Here's how a new title change could help address the shortage. "People need to know we exist" - president @TxASP @nasponline @CBSNewsTexas cbsnews.com/texas/news/peopl…

We had a great meeting this morning with @Stetson_24 from Rep. @SheriffTNehls’ office about the shortage of school psychologists in Texas schools. School psychs want to be part of the solution to transform school-based mental health services! #NASPAdvocates #Mentalhealth

🚨 URGENT ACTION NEEDED 🚨 Federal education funding is set to expire on Thursday and Congress still hasn't secured a deal. Call your Members of Congress now to urge swift passage of the FY22 omnibus. $1 billion for shortages depends on it! #NASPadvocates bit.ly/3hNiour

Thank you @txasp and our @NASPonline delegate, Ashley Estes Arnold, for providing me with brand new poster for my office. If you are in education, go find out who your LSSP/School Psychologist is and give them love. It has been a hard couple of months and it won’t slow down.

Fed safety report misses important opportunity to genuinely help schools improve safety efforts. Some recommendations actually could cause more harm than good. Arming teachers and rescinding fed discipline guidance are bad ideas.
