Success Beyond Six:
"Vermont has been actively developing its partnerships between mental health, education, and students and their families under the Success Beyond Six fiscal mechanism since its official start in December 1992. This voluntary development is driven by local needs and the desire to help students with an emotional disturbance succeed in school.” (Success Beyond Six legislative report, 2008)
