Bill > HB112

This bill establishes a six-year pilot project called "Building Student Resiliency" that will provide funding for up to 40 public schools (including charter schools) to set up wellness rooms in elementary, middle, and high schools. The wellness rooms are designed to help students release emotional, mental, and behavioral stress through a calming environment and resources to self-regulate. The bill outlines application requirements and selection criteria, data collection and reporting, and the creation of a "Building Student Resiliency Fund" that is appropriated $5 million from the general fund for the pilot project. The goal is to measure the effects of access to wellness rooms on student resiliency, academic gains, attendance, engagement, stress responses, and overall behavioral health.
