  • In accordance with the 83rd Legislature, the Department of State Health Services (DSHS), in coordination with the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and regional education service centers (ESCs), shall provide and annually update a list of recommended best practice-based programs for implementation in public elementary, junior high, middle, and high schools within the general education setting. DSHS, TEA, and each ESC shall make the list easily accessible on their website. The list must include programs in the following areas:

    • Early mental health intervention       
    • Mental health promotion and positive youth development        
    • Substance abuse prevention;
    • Substance abuse intervention; and
    • Suicide prevention 

  • New Provisional Enrollment Vaccine Dosing Schedule

    A provisional enrollment dosing schedule was created to assist schools in correctly enrolling students provisionally.  The Provisional Enrollment Vaccine Dosing Schedule provides information on the required vaccine, dose, and intervals between subsequent doses for students enrolled in kindergarten through 12th grade and can be accessed online. 

     

    A provisional enrollment dosing schedule is planned for Pre-K and Childcare, but is not available at this time.
