MASD Student Assistance Program (SAP)
The Milton Area School District, in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Departments of Education and Health, has established a functioning Student Assistance Program.
The purpose of the Student Assistance Program is to identify high risk teenagers who are having school-related problems because of alcohol and drug use or who are at risk of suicide and other mental health problems. It is a method for intervening and referring these students to appropriate community services. SAP is an intervention, not a treatment or discipline.
To refer a student to the SAP program, please contact a school counselor.
