Relating to staff development requirements for public educators
regarding suicide prevention and other mental health training.
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
HB 1144 would require training on suicide prevention, mental health, substance abuse, positive relationships, grief and trauma for educators in district or charter schools be taught at least once every two years.
Texas Action is opposed to HB 1144 on the principle of limited government. These regular trainings would be an exhausting undertaking and are unnecessary to mandate state-wide.
