***AUTHORS SUBJECT TO CHANGE***
AN ACT to create 115.28 (63) (d) of the statutes; relating to: training to address
student mental health and making an appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Public Instruction must provide
trainings to school districts and independent charter schools on three specific
evidence-based strategies to address student mental health: screening, brief
intervention, and referral to treatment; trauma sensitive schools; and youth mental
health first aid. This bill adds social and emotional learning to the list of
evidence-based strategies on which DPI must provide trainings to school districts
and independent charter schools. The bill also provides an additional $500,000 to
DPI for these trainings in each of the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 115.28 (63) (d) of the statutes is created to read:
115.28 (63) (d) Social and emotional learning.
