According to Brimhall, this experience has taught her to empathize more strongly with others going through a similar situation. “When my thoughts are going really quickly, I have to remember to slow down and take time to listen to my students,” Brimhall said. “Before I experienced it [mental health issues] myself, I had so many friends and family members that had struggled with mental health that I think I already had empathy for students, but now having experienced [it] myself even more so.” (Photo: Kristine Lin)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/DSC0004-900x600.jpg)

Were [the district] primarily funded through our property tax dollars, McDaniels said. Overall when our enrollment shrinks that actually, should be more money per student, not less money per student. But theres also the concept of being fiscally responsible which is important to our district as well, so you need to find that balance.
