Course of study: mental health education.

Summary

SB 531 would add mental‑health instruction to the required health area for grades 1‑6 and create a separate mental‑health course for grades 7‑12. The change applies to all public school districts and charter schools, making the instruction a state‑mandated local program. The bill also sets up reimbursement for any costs the state incurs in implementing the new requirement.
