CASSY youth mental health funding cut
Summary
The council cut the CASSY school counseling grant in half even though CASSY still serves Los Gatos kids at Leigh, Westmont, and St. Mary's schools. Supporters warned about youth anxiety and suicide risk; opponents of the cut wanted the Finance Commission's input first. The grant now drops from $10,000 to $5,000.
