An Act for trauma informed and social and emotional learning supports and training expansion act
This bill requires all school staff in Massachusetts, including teachers and support personnel, to complete training on behavioral and crisis intervention within one year. It also establishes state grants to help schools provide trauma-informed care and social-emotional learning supports to students and educators. The funding must be used to train staff on recognizing student needs and managing behavioral crises while minimizing law enforcement involvement. Additionally, the bill mandates that schools using these funds create a plan to address student behavior through supportive, non-punitive methods.
