Bio

Ivonne Olivas has served as Lead School Psychologist at TVUSD since August 2019 and has been a practicing school psychologist for many years. She attended the University of Arizona, where she received her Bachelors’ in Psychology. Then she returned to the University of Arizona for graduate school where she obtained an Education Specialist Degree (Ed.S.) in school psychology and began working at Tucson Unified School District. She worked there for nine years before moving to Continental Elementary School District,  a small school district in Green Valley, AZ. Working in different districts has required her to wear many hats, which allowed her to gain experience in the administrative side of special education as well as addressing students' academic and mental health needs. These work experiences have allowed her to work with diverse populations in southern Arizona and learn about the different needs across communities. 

As a member of TVUSD’s Student Services Department, Ivonne works with special education staff to ensure that federal law and state regulations are being followed. She collaborates with staff and provides guidance so that they can navigate all that special education documentation requires. Ivonne also works with students and staff at Emily Gray Junior High School. The thing she enjoys most about her job is working directly with students. “I love seeing their faces light up when they problem solve or tell me a funny story.”

This experience led her to her current position at TVUSD as the Student Services Secretary where she manages student information and data on special education, open enrollment, student needs, and much more.

Jake's Law

In 2020, the Arizona legislature passed “Jake’s Law,” which created a fund that provides uninsured and underinsured children access to behavioral health services when they are referred through an educational institution – otherwise known as “school-based referrals.”  To make school-based referrals, the legislature required school districts and charter schools to pass a policy that outlined the law as it relates to school-based referrals. The policy must include:

1. An opt-in process for parents

2. A survey to parents whose children utilize school-based referrals

3. A list of service providers published on the district website

4. An annual report to the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS)
