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 2025-26 and 2026-27 school years.
