Requires teaching staff members and school board members to annually receive training on trauma-informed education.

This bill requires all New Jersey public school districts to provide annual trauma-informed education training to teaching staff and school board members. It directly affects educators and school leaders in every public school district across the state. The key mechanism mandates districts to use guidelines developed by the New Jersey Department of Education, which must cover identifying trauma signs in students, understanding trauma's impact on learning, implementing trauma-responsive classroom practices, and recognizing secondary trauma effects on staff. The training aims to address adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and support students' cognitive, physical, social, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.
