A Texas school mental health program for students who are at high risk of hurting themselves or others had not made its way to schools in Uvalde before last week’s school shooting, the Texas Tribune reported.Created by Texas lawmakers in 2019, the Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium is already in 40% of Texas schools, but hasn’t able to expand to more schools, Dr. Steven R. Pliszka, administrator of the UT Health San Antonio consortium program told the paper.“We kind of reached a limit to our staffing in the first round of funding and we were planning to reach out to more rural districts, and Uvalde was obviously on our list,” Pliszka told the Tribune. “Sadly, this happened before we could make that connection.”
