Bill > AB590

Introduced Session

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. For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
