Sustainable Support: Ensuring Mental Health and SEL Remain at the Heart of CUSD

Campbell Union School District maximizes statewide initiative to make social emotional learning sustainable.

Knowing that social emotional learning (SEL) is a key component to school success, the Campbell Union School District (CUSD) is transitioning to a sustainable funding model for its "whole child" approach - including mental health services, wellness centers, and social-emotional learning (SEL) - by participating in the statewide Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI).  

Thanks to the California legislation adopting CYBHI, here is what you can anticipate:

• No Impact on Insurance Coverage: CUSD’s ability to bill the insurance companies will not affect a family’s insurance benefits, premiums, or deductibles. By state law, insurers are prohibited from passing these costs on to families.

• No Impact on Outside Care: Receiving services at school does not reduce or limit a student’s ability to see their own private doctors or specialists outside of school.
• No Out-of-Pocket Costs: Families will never be charged co-pays or fees for these school-based services.
• No Interruption of Services: This change is strictly about how the district pays for staff and resources; it will not reduce the quality or availability of the support students currently receive.

• Sustainability: Instead of relying on temporary grants, CUSD will use a third-party agency to bill insurance for services already being provided on campus.
• Privacy First: The district will collect insurance information annually, but this data is used strictly for billing. It is protected by HIPAA and FERPA privacy laws and will not be shared.
• Universal Access: A student will never be denied services if they do not have insurance or if a family chooses not to provide their information.
