Welcome to Student Services
Purpose
At the Utah State Board of Education (USBE), we believe in empowering every student on their path to success. Our student services team works with families, educators, and community partners to help students navigate their educational experience through academic support, mental and behavioral health services, and nursing and wellness intervention. We provide a range of supports, resources, and guidance to cultivate supportive and inclusive learning environments, free from discrimination and harassment. Our purpose is to support the whole child - their physical, mental, and emotional well-being - throughout their education journey.
