State Superintendent Tony Thurmond

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month and we are very fortunate to have the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Tony Thurmond, join us to talk about the severity of the issue amongst teenagers and the toll that the pandemic took on student mental health. He also talks about the important role that schools play in addressing the matter and ways that the State of California and his office are assisting in this endeavor. We also get to know Supt Thurmond a little more as he responds to some student submitted questions at the end. Thanks for listening!
