Read the official explanation
This bill relates to public school personnel training concerning mental health. The bill requires each board of directors of a school district by July 1, 2024, to require annual, evidence-based training on educator mental wellness and self-identification and mitigation of negative mental health symptoms for all school personnel who hold a license, certificate, authorization, or statement of recognition issued by the board of educational examiners and who have regular contact with students in kindergarten through grade 12. The bill makes a similar requirement for training on student social and emotional wellness and the identification and mitigation of negative mental health symptoms in students. The content of each type of training must be based on nationally recognized best practices. The bill directs the state board of education to adopt rules to determine the qualifications required of a person who conducts each type of training. The bill requires training on educator mental wellness to take place within the first days of the beginning of a school calendar, and training on student social and emotional wellness to take place in January or February.
