Prevention, Intervention, Outreach
Inyo County Superintendent of Schools office offers outreach, prevention, and intervention services to all students in Inyo County schools. The main goals of our Outreach, Prevention, and Intervention programs are to educate our youth regarding the pitfalls and hazards they often run into as they grow older, to familiarize them with their own vulnerabilities, and to support their efforts to resolve particularly difficult personal troubles.
