Leaders at Central A&M schools are looking to address mental health issues in students through a book study.  The study focuses on the role technology may have in students’ increasing rates of anxiety, depression, and other outcomes.  As part of this effort, administrators and faculty from this school district and others will collaborate to determine how best to address this issue.  The study itself will run through the fall, with results published shortly thereafter.

Superintendent Sacha Young is part of the book study.  She says it focuses on findings published in the book The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. 

The book study team will use the results from the book and their discussions to potentially refine how technology is integrated into everyday learning. 

Away from the book study, the school district celebrated the completion of another school year with its annual end-of-year breakfast.  Among other tributes, the district honored several faculty members who have reached notable milestones.
