The Watertown School Board has taken a significant step to tackle the ongoing shortage of school psychologists by approving the hiring of two psychology interns for the 2025-2026 academic year. This decision, made during a recent board meeting, was reached unanimously, reflecting a strong commitment to enhancing student mental health support within the district.
The interns will work under the supervision of licensed psychologists, providing essential services to students and gaining invaluable hands-on experience in the field. This initiative aims not only to address the immediate needs of the student population but also to cultivate future professionals in school psychology.
Board members expressed optimism that these internships will help bridge the gap in mental health resources, ensuring that students receive the support they need to thrive academically and emotionally. As schools increasingly recognize the importance of mental health, this proactive approach could serve as a model for other districts facing similar challenges.
