An omnibus bill to “get more mental health services to students in Texas Public Schools,” was signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott yesterday. The bill will require:
“school districts to offer mental health and suicide prevention curricula if they do the same with physical health.
The curricula and training will include signs of mental health conditions and substance abuse, strategies for maintaining student to student positive relations, conflict resolution, and information about how grief and trauma affect student learning.”
Attorney Ward. Where will this money come from? How will this be structured in the ISD
It appears it will be funded from general revenue.
