An Act relative to the promotion of mental health education

This bill requires all public schools to teach mental health education as a required subject for every grade, emphasizing the connection between physical and mental health. It directly affects public school students, school committees, and private schools seeking approval. Key provisions mandate that private schools must include mental health education in their curriculum to receive approval, matching the requirements for public schools. The law updates existing education statutes (Ch. 71 Sec. 3 and Ch. 76 Sec. 1) without altering religious teaching or transportation policies.
