California is expanding school-based mental health services for students up to age 25.  Through a state initiative, schools and affiliated providers can be reimbursed by insurance companies for services like screenings, assessments, and ongoing support.  This program will not increase costs for families (no co-pays, premiums, or deductibles) and will not affect their ability to receive outside care.

California schools are required to check immunization records for all new student admissions at transitional kindergarten TK/Kindergarten through 12th grade and all students advancing to 7th grade before entry.
