The awards recognize school partners that have demonstrated exemplary service to students and clinicians. The 2023-2024 Partner of the Year winners are from urban, suburban, rural, and virtual school communities. "The number of students needing special education-related and behavioral and mental health services has increased, and there simply aren't enough school clinicians to provide these services," said Presence CEO Kate Eberle Walker. "Our Partners of the Year are embracing teletherapy as an innovative way to address this concerning challenge. As a result, they've been able to reduce heavy caseloads for clinicians and provide students with the tailored, customized support they need to help progress toward their IEP and mental health goals. Presence is proud to partner with and to honor these schools, who share our vision to ensure every child receives the services they need." Following a comprehensive nomination and evaluation process, the following schools and school districts were selected to receive the award:
