AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to require that physical and mental health education be taught as required subjects in all grades for all students in the public schools. The bill specifies that mental health education programs must recognize multiple dimensions of health, including the relationship between physical and mental health, in order to enhance student understanding, attitudes, and behaviors that promote health, well-being, and human dignity. Additionally, the bill requires that private schools approved by school committees incorporate a mental health education program into their curriculum in order to receive the same transportation rights and privileges as public school students.
