Background Information:

There is only a minor change to this policy and the change is reflected in law. By law, school personnel cannot conduct mental health screening, except as provided by law (TCA  §49-2-124). This statute is attached for your reference and it sets forth the exceptions provided for in law. Our current policy is attached for informational purposes only.
