from Wisconsin in Focus · host America's Talking Network
Most of Wisconsin’s high school students say they are anxious or depressed, and that has the state’s superintendent of schools asking for more money. Wisconsin’s Department of Public Instruction on Tuesday released the results from the latest Youth Risk Behavior Survey. The survey is now a semi-annual thing, offered every other year. In the spring 2023, 1,882 Wisconsin students in 42 public, charter and alternative high schools took the test. There are nearly 850,000 school students in Wisconsin, meaning less than one-half of one-percent of children took the survey. Still, Underly said the results tell a tale of a mental health crisis.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/wisconsin/article_bc1364cc-4eab-11ef-b1d0-df38733fcf29.html Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
