AI Summary

This bill aims to strengthen recovery high schools, which are public high schools designed specifically for students impacted by substance use, mental health issues, and trauma. The bill amends the existing law to provide a more comprehensive definition of a "Recovery High School," including that it must offer a structured plan of recovery and a curriculum aligned with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's requirements. Additionally, the bill updates a reference to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), replacing the outdated "DSM-IV-TR" with the current "DSM-V."
