Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf announced that his administration received $7.2 million grant for school districts to help students with behavioral needs.

At present, there are more than 24,000 students with behavioral needs in Pennsylvania. Their health problem could lead to chronic absenteeism.  Students could end up not graduating or failing in their career.

In a statement, Gov. Wolf said, “Pennsylvania must do everything we can to ensure every student is able to succeed, no matter the circumstance.”

According to the governor, the funding is important for  teachers and administrators. Schools and students with behavioral needs will be given critical resources and services.

The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) will give funds to school districts under the Middle School Success: The Path to Graduation (P2G) grant program.

The P2G allows local educational agencies to address the academic and behavioral needs of students with disabilities. They use evidenced-based instructional practices.
