Plain-English Summary

This bill would encourage schools to adopt trauma-informed teaching practices that recognize how students' past experiences with trauma can affect their learning and behavior. Schools using these approaches would train teachers to create safer classroom environments, respond compassionately to struggling students, and connect them with mental health support rather than relying solely on punishment. The changes would affect teachers, school administrators, and students, particularly those who have experienced abuse, violence, or other traumatic events.
