Bill Summary

Supporting The State Of Delawares Participation In The Southern Regional Education Boards Crisis Recovery Support Network.

AI Summary

This resolution supports Delaware's participation in the Southern Regional Education Board's (SREB) Crisis Recovery Support Network, which aims to provide long-term counseling and support to schools and communities after traumatic events such as natural disasters, school shootings, or public emergencies. The resolution acknowledges that current crisis management approaches often lack sustained support for students, teachers, and counselors, particularly in rural districts with limited mental health resources. Recognizing that recovery can take up to a year and requires specialized psychological first aid, the resolution encourages the Governor, Department of Education, school districts, and postsecondary institutions to partner with SREB to deploy trained counselors who can help schools and communities heal and maintain psychological resilience. The underlying rationale is that providing adequate support after a crisis can improve students' academic success, school retention, and positive societal contributions, while also addressing the emotional needs of educators and counselors who are often expected to manage crisis responses with limited external assistance.
