Bill Summary
Amend The South Carolina Code Of Laws By Amending Section 59-26-110, Relating To Youth Suicide Prevention Teacher Training, So As To Provide Requirements For The Training Of Individuals Employed In A Kindergarten Through Twelfth Grade School Or An Institution Of Higher Education.
AI Summary
This bill updates South Carolina's existing law on youth suicide prevention training for educators by extending the requirement for two hours of suicide awareness and prevention training from the current 2013-2014 school year to the 2025-2026 school year. The training will continue to be mandatory for individuals employed in kindergarten through 12th grade schools and institutions of higher education, and will still count toward the 120 renewal credits required by the Department of Education for credential renewal. By specifying a new target school year for implementation, the bill ensures that educators will continue to receive critical training on recognizing and preventing youth suicide, which can help identify at-risk students and potentially save lives by providing educators with the skills to intervene early and appropriately.
