In Pennsylvania, every school district is required to have a plan for identifying and assisting students who experience “barriers to learning.” The Secretary of Education established the Student Assistance Program as a Pre-K through 12th Grade system for assisting parents and school personnel in removing these barriers. A SAP team made up of school and agency staff is available to help you access school and community services for your child.

Your school’s SAP team will help you find school based services as well as community resources if needed. It is important to know we do not diagnose, treat, or refer your child for treatment. Rather, we will provide you with useful and relevant resources so that you make the choices.

Remember, you are part of our team. We strongly encourage parental involvement in the SAP process. Our goal is to provide students appropriate support and resources to be successful in school.
