Given that HB 1754 repeals the statewide use of the multi-tiered system of support for behavioral health and wellness (MTSS-B) in New Hampshire schools, it baffles me that this is proposed for our schools. I am a school nurse, and easily half of the students I care for have a behavioral health component, and ALL of them have a wellness component. A similar bill has been heard before and soundly defeated as it would take us backwards with respect to supporting student mental health in schools. This is wrong for the children of our state. Thank you for your consideration, Heather Boyd
