            "description":"When Dickinson ISD finally reopened after a two-week Hurricane Harvey delay, 16 students came to school barefoot. \nThey \"walked through stinky debris piles without shoes to board a school bus,\" Superintendent Vicki Mims told the Senate Education Committee earlier this month. \nMounds of soggy sheetrock and insulation and piles of ruined textbooks and sodden records have been mostly cleared away from Texas' schools, but the hard work of fixing the less visible damage still remains. \nTexas' children need help to recover from the trauma. \nStudents in the hardest hit districts even exhibit PTSD-like symptoms."

                                                                                                <p>Texas' children need help to recover from the trauma.</p>

                                                                                                <p>Students in the hardest hit districts even exhibit PTSD-like symptoms.</p>

                                                                                                <p>In Clear Creek ISD, Superintendent Greg Smith told the committee, a mere rainy day is enough to make students so upset that they want to go home.</p>

                                                                                                <p>During a normal year, about 1 in 3 children and 2 in 5 youth will suffer from mental health and substance abuse disorders, according to a report by the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute. That translates into about 310,000 children in Harris County. Now add to the mix the estimated million-plus school children who have been impacted  by Harvey - some of whom already had prior needs - in a state already grappling with an ongoing mental health crisis.</p>

                                                                                                <p>The Texas Education Agency has announced a much-needed Hurricane Harvey Task Force to address the mental health concerns at schools and universities affected by the hurricane. This task force lacks the funding or the authority necessary to take many of the steps needed. Nevertheless, it can perform a valuable service by vigorously working to develop a district-by-district list of student needs alongside available services.</p>

                                                                                                <p>An assessment of what's available is the first step to developing a comprehensive mental health plan for Texas youth - a plan that our state has lacked for some time.</p>

                                                                                                <p>Resilient adults who are struggling might have the resources to reach out, but children are often dependent on others for help, which makes schools a convenient and effective way to provide services. But today the state simply isn't keeping track of which students are receiving mental health services at school or how robust their care is.</p>

                                                                                                <p>Two state sponsored programs - Communities in Schools and Services to At-Risk Youth - provide students with non-academic support. Together they can help fewer than 90,000 students per year, according to a new report by Texans Care for Children.</p>

                                                                                                <p>Some students benefit from student-based health centers, but it's not apparent how many centers are able to respond to mental health needs.</p>

                                                                                                <p>Some districts partner with community providers to offer school-based mental health services to students, but the state has no idea how many do so.</p>

                                                                                                <p>The task force needs to thoroughly document the services that Texas already provides.</p>

                                                                                                <p>The Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute already has mapped the school-based clinics in Harris County. The institute found a high need and no school-based clinics in Spring, Sheldon, Crosby and Deer Park ISDs. How many other mental health care deserts exist around the state? The task force should identify the gaps.</p>

                                                                                                <p>One thing is clear at the outset: The long-term mental health needs of children are going to exceed current state resources. The task force should develop a strategy to increase access to Medicaid for eligible children.</p>

                                                                                                <p>The positive side of those students showing up shoeless for school, according to Superintendent Mims, "is they and their parents knew if they could get to school, we could take care of them."</p>

                                                                                                <p>Texas lawmakers need to ensure that these hurricane survivors aren't misplacing hope when they rely on our schools. Historically our state has failed to prioritize youth mental health services. After Harvey, this must change.</p>
