This is very concerning and cannot be viewed as a TDT replacement.  Continuous cuts in mental health for our children and families yet increases in mental health needs - we need more support! 

CPST does not replicate TDT's scope, structure or intensity.  Support services will be reduced from 25 per week to 7 per week at best.

Greater parent involvement is a great thing but also becomes a barrier as the general population TDT services has minimal parent involvement to begin with.  Requiring 8 hours of parental involvement will eliminate so many children who need this help and service. 

Summer is the most difficult time for our students and CPST offers NO summer programming.

Our kids are without services for 3 months and expected to make strides in behaviors and mental health stability?? This is simply a BAD plan and hurts our students.  Virginia childrent deserver better than this - ALL children deserve better than this- come on , you can and should do better.
