What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Public Instruction must provide

trainings to school districts and independent charter schools on three specific

evidence-based strategies to address student mental health: screening, brief

intervention, and referral to treatment; trauma sensitive schools; and youth mental

health first aid. This bill adds social and emotional learning to the list of

evidence-based strategies on which DPI must provide trainings to school districts

and independent charter schools. The bill also provides an additional $500,000 to

DPI for these trainings in each of the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years.
