District proposes expanded Daybreak mental-health services for students

What happened

San Lorenzo Unified proposes renewing Daybreak Health services for 2026–27, with unlimited teletherapy for all students and a full-time in-person clinician serving up to five sites. The plan would prioritize in-person placement for students including foster youth, LGBTQ+ youth, and students who have been suspended or expelled.

Why it matters to families

The district says the partnership is intended to increase counseling access and reduce wait times; the proposed $247,708 annual investment combines teletherapy with an onsite clinician.

The evidence

The June 2, 2026 agenda item describes the agreement as a renewal that will increase services. It lists unlimited teletherapy for all students with no referral cap ($96,252) and a dedicated 1.0 FTE clinician for the full 2026–27 school year, serving up to five sites ($151,456.25); total proposed investment is $247,708.25. The packet recommends approval but does not establish a board vote.
