Bill Summary
Amends the School Code. In provisions concerning identification cards and suicide prevention information, provides that each school district that serves pupils in any of grades 6 through 12 and that issues an identification card to school employees serving any of grades 6 through 12 shall provide on the identification card the same contact information concerning suicide prevention that is required to be provided on a pupil's identification card.
AI Summary
This bill amends the School Code to require school districts serving students in grades 6-12 to include suicide prevention contact information on identification cards for both students and school employees. Specifically, the bill mandates that these identification cards must display contact information for three key helplines: the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (988), the Crisis Text Line, and the Safe2Help Illinois helpline. The contact information must clearly indicate which helplines can be reached via text messaging. Additionally, this same contact information must be included in the school's student handbook and student planner (if one is custom printed). The bill aims to increase awareness and accessibility of mental health support resources for students and school staff by ensuring these critical contact details are prominently displayed on identification cards in middle and high schools.
