What’s in it

This bill requires a school board and the authorities in charge of an accredited nonpublic school that is a middle or high school to designate an employee of each middle school and high school as a behavioral health resource coordinator for the school. The bill provides duties of behavioral health resource coordinators, including but not limited to providing information to students and school employees regarding mental health resources available at the school and overseeing and serving as a point of contact for any activities or initiatives to improve or provide access to mental health resources to students and school employees at the school.
