Considering the experiences of historically marginalized and underrepresented groups when identifying professional development resources on certain topics.

Summary

The bill directs the Washington Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to create and post on its website a list of professional‑development resources for school staff on topics such as social‑emotional learning, trauma‑informed practices, mental‑health literacy and culturally sustaining practices. The resources must explicitly consider the experiences of historically marginalized and underrepresented groups, including disabilities, neurodivergence, LGBTQ identities, homelessness, race, religion, national origin and immigration status. The goal is to help schools build more inclusive environments and better support student mental health.
