Project Services
SEDNET, a multiagency network for students with Emotional / Behavioral Disabilities serves the child functioning poorly in the home, school, or community due to alcohol, drug abuse, or mental health problems. Eligibility for services is based on a child's behavioral health needs associated with the risk of removal from either the current living situation, educational placement, or treatment setting. SEDNET serves all agencies involved in meeting the challenge of this exceptional population. District 2A covers the six counties of Bay, Calhoun, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson, and Washington.
SEDNET MISSION:
Promote development of strategies to maximize dollars to serve at risk populations in the least restrictive environment.
Develop the competencies required for all educators to effectively meet the needs of students with emotional disturbances or who are at risk.
Provide technical assistance, and support to ensure students are served in the most appropriate setting in all systems.
