Bill > HB1332

This bill proposes to completely repeal two sections of Missouri law (161.1050 and 161.1055) that established the Trauma-Informed Schools Initiative and Pilot Program. Specifically, the bill would eliminate the requirement for the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to provide information, training, and resources about trauma-informed approaches in schools. The original law had mandated the creation of a website about trauma-informed practices, required school districts to share this information with parents, and established a pilot program to train teachers and administrators in five selected schools about how to recognize and respond to student trauma. The pilot program was originally set to terminate on August 28, 2019, and was meant to help schools better understand and address the impacts of chronic interpersonal trauma on students, teachers, and staff. By repealing these sections, the bill would remove all state-level support and guidelines for trauma-informed education practices in Missouri schools.
