Macon County Schools System provides or sponsors mental health services ranging from awareness and prevention to intervention and support. A new law in Alabama requires parents/guardians of students under the age of 14 to give written consent for their child to receive mental health services at school. For students under age 14 to receive these services, the parent/guardian must complete the Mental Health Opt-In Form.
Note: If you do not opt-in, your child may still be provided mental health services if there is an imminent threat to their health or others. Macon County Schools System employees may use their discretion to determine whether such an imminent threat exists and provide any mental health services they deem necessary under such circumstances.
