Leaders of the new Center for School Mental Health met Tuesday with a state group responsible for the children’s mental health system and pledged collaboration on the $20 million project.
It was the first such public meeting since the project’s announcement in late June, which stakeholders said took them by surprise and was planned specifically to allow Gov. Kim Reynolds to break the news, according to an Iowa Department of Education official.
