Are you concerned about the Math Framework being considered by the California Department of Education? If so, you can find out more information about the status of this twice-revised and delayed decision and what the framework input has been so far at this upcoming Roundtable Panel...

Ed Source: "You can find out more about the current process for developing a new Framework with the California Department of Education (CDE) on July 28, 2022. 

The state's twice-revised framework for K-12 math instruction is on pause, likely for months, as the California Department of Education considers hundreds of suggestions for changes and critiques that call for rewriting the nearly 1,000-page document. 

The debate reflects fundamental disagreements over how math should be taught and what high school courses should be offered. Many K-12 math teachers support the framework’s call for a vastly different approach to math instruction; many higher ed professors say it would leave too many college-bound students unprepared for STEM careers."

As a member of the San Mateo County Behavioral Health Commission, I am proud to share that in July, our Commission voted unanimously to approve Mental Health Crisis Response Recommendations to the Board of Supervisors, following the hard work of our Ad Hoc Subcommittee, as well as many discussions with our community, to assemble a comprehensive set of recommendations that are person-centered and representative of best practices to protect individuals experiencing mental health crises in San Mateo County.

The recommendations include:

• Changing of County dispatching protocols to include mental health emergencies;
• Adding a mental health clinician to the dispatch center;
• Creating a non-police mental health crisis response team; and
• Establishing Community Based Crisis Stabilization Centers.

Please read the recommendations and feel free to contact me for further details!

*Our recommendations are also consistent with NAMI's position on Mental Health Crisis Response, recommendations and best practices to protect those experiencing crises related to mental illness.
