<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We were informed yesterday that the forthcoming State Board meeting may include an agenda item or a statement addressing the introduction of telehealth services to support mental health counselors on our campus.
This initiative is proposed either as an extension of the existing SB 5513 (Mental Health Counseling and Services Pilot Program) or as part of a revised iteration of the previously attempted SB 5194. We have reviewed the agenda items and have not found a specific
listing, leading us to believe that this topic may be addressed during public comments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The Washington Achievement Counsel (WSAC) is seeking $2 million in funding from the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) to launch and pilot telehealth services on Washington Community
and Technical College (CTC) campuses. We are aware that Karen Strickland, President of the Washington Chapter of the American Federation of Teachers Union (WA-AFT), has expressed opposition to the implementation of these services. We tried to engage in a conversation
with Ms. Strickland yesterday to discuss her perspective and insights but were unable to secure a meeting at that time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">You can watch the State Board meeting via the following link:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">For those interested in providing a public comment during the meeting, there is an opportunity on October 19th between 9:10 AM and 9:20 AM, accessible through the following link:
<a href="https://www.sbctc.edu/about/board/meetings">State Board Meeting | SBCTC</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">To the best of our knowledge, the Washington Community and Technical College Counselors Association (WCTCCA) Executive Team and Steering Committee have not been formally approached or requested to provide
input on this matter. If you believe it is essential for us to issue a statement, we encourage you to respond to this email with your perspectives and insights. Your input is highly valued, and we are keen to hear your thoughts. Please do not hesitate to reach
out with your feedback.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">If this information is entirely new to you, we encourage you to peruse the provided links for further details, or alternatively, do not hesitate to reach out to one of the Executive Team Members via email.
We would be more than willing to engage in a discussion with you on this matter.<br>
