Relating to training requirements for public school board of trustees members and superintendents regarding the adoption of a trauma-informed school standard.

SB 197 requires public school board members to complete trauma-informed training upon election or reelection and superintendents to complete it every four years. The training covers recognizing trauma in students, understanding trauma's impact on learning, addressing implicit bias, and implementing school policies that support student and educator well-being. School districts must submit training courses for state approval, and the Texas Education Agency must approve at least one course by December 1, 2025. This bill directly affects school board members and superintendents across Texas public school districts.
