Cañon City Schools Utilizing the BIMAS-2 Universal Screening Tool in our Secondary Schools

Cañon City School District Social-Emotional Support Coordinator Jamie Murray was in Austin, Texas presenting at the Annual Conference for Advancing School Mental Health.

Her topic was the work we've been doing here in Cañon City Schools utilizing the BIMAS-2 universal screening tool in our secondary schools.

This received national attention last spring when National Public Radio aired a story about it.

Cañon City Schools Health and Wellness Coordinator Brian VanIwarden reported, "it is obvious our school district is at the forefront nationwide in supporting and identifying students who might need additional behavioral health supports."

Mrs. Murray was part of a presentation that included four panelists with PHDs.

Mr. VanIwarden said the last panelist actually gave up his time to Jamie so she could answer questions from session participants.
