Bloomfield Public Schools, in partnership with Integrated Health Care Services, is inviting you to a virtual informational session on Wednesday, January 31, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. as part of a Board of Education Special meeting.
Join us as we learn about a grant opportunity that would provide Laurel Literacy Academy and the Carmen Arace building with School Based Health Centers that are coordinated, culturally sensitive and developmentally appropriate. The Centers would provide primary care, dental care, social/emotional behavioral health services, and health education, leading to increased access to these valuable resources for our Bloomfield students.
We invite you to attend this virtual meeting and learn with us as we explore this opportunity. Visit our website, under "Events" for more information.
