Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Funds will renovate a building which houses services to children who experience severe emotional and behavioral problems.  As the children's population in Hillsborough County grows, the number of children with severe and emotional/behavioral problems also increases.  This special population challenges both the educational and mental health systems.  These funds will expand the facility in which the special academy is operated collaboratively by Mental Health Care, Inc. and the Hillsborough County School District.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

Numbers of children "mainstreamed" to less restrictive school settings.  Numbers of children who maintain regular attendance in Academy classes. Numbers of children, who continue progressing through the education system, some to successfully graduate.
