Bill Summary
This bill relates to mental health resources for students enrolled in school districts, accredited nonpublic schools, charter schools, and innovation zone schools. The bill requires schools to publish on the school’s internet site the mental health resources created by your life Iowa, or a link to where such mental health resources may be accessed on your life Iowa’s internet site, and to partner with students enrolled in the school in order to find additional ways to increase student awareness of mental health resources and information related to mental health.
AI Summary
This bill requires school districts, charter schools, accredited nonpublic schools, and innovation zone schools to take two specific actions related to student mental health resources: first, they must publish on their website the mental health resources created by "Your Life Iowa" (a state mental health support initiative) or provide a direct link to those resources, and second, they must actively collaborate with their enrolled students to develop innovative strategies for increasing awareness and accessibility of mental health resources and information. The bill amends existing education statutes to ensure these requirements apply to different types of schools, including charter schools and innovation zone schools, with the goal of making mental health support more visible and engaging for students. By mandating both website publication and student partnership, the bill aims to create a more proactive and student-centered approach to mental health resource dissemination in educational settings.
