Establishes a grant program to promote the mental health and wellness of teachers and staff in public schools
S 9101 establishes a grant program to support the mental health and wellness of teachers and school staff in public schools. It creates a dedicated fund (not using state general funds) to provide two types of grants: planning grants (one-year) for developing programs and operational grants (two-year) for implementing programs that cover counseling, stress management training, and professional development. School districts must apply for grants, with applications evaluated based on staff turnover rates, employee satisfaction, and student success metrics like absenteeism and graduation rates. The program requires annual legislative reporting on outcomes and includes an advisory committee of mental health experts and educators.
