BESE: Requests the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to prioritize mental health instruction and training in suicide prevention in its rulemaking process

This concurrent resolution asks the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to make suicide prevention and mental health education a top priority when creating new rules. It specifically requests that the board ensure these topics are included in teacher training and classroom instruction, even if a related bill removes specific legal mandates for them. The measure also directs the board to allow input from the public and advocacy groups during the rule-making process. Ultimately, this bill serves as a formal request to the education board to maintain focus on mental health support in schools.
