The CDC data reports about 44% of high school students felt hopeless and sad during the last year. Over half of those surveyed reported abuse from a parent or other adult in the home.
And while many students are benefitting from being back in the classroom, Ironwood Elementary School Associate Principal Vanessa Scafede said the students are still adjusting.
But CDC leaders also report that these struggles were already worsening before the pandemic. In the Marana Unified School District, there's a program that administrators in the district like Scafede use to support students. It's called Positive Behavior Intervention and Support. She said that all teachers and staff in the district are trained to use this program. It's a case by case basis, but Scafede said they make sure to debrief with the student to enforce positive behavior.
