Education Omnibus.
HB 832 revises North Carolina's school safety grant program to expand eligible uses of funds for training aimed at improving student well-being and safety. It allows public school units to fund evidence-based programs including suicide prevention training (CALM), trauma-focused therapies (like cognitive behavioral therapy), violence prevention, and peer mentoring facilitation. The bill specifically permits up to $350,000 in annual funding for these expanded services, directly affecting school staff, counselors, and students in North Carolina public schools. This change modifies existing grant rules without creating new funding or altering overall program structure.

MINOR
The bill was updated to its third edition with minor formatting corrections and a version number change. The most significant substantive change is the removal of the word 'entirely' from a licensing requirement for nursing agencies, which slightly relaxes the strictness of the contract terms needed for a parent's choice of nurse.
REQUIREMENT
The requirement for nursing agencies to enter a contract with the local educational agency was modified by removing the word 'entirely', changing the phrasing from 'entirely meets' to 'meets'. This reduces the strictness of the licensing and liability requirements.
TECHNICAL
The bill version was updated from Edition 2 to Edition 3, and the page number at the top of the document was changed from 2 to 3.
A line break was added in the text regarding nursing agency contracts, splitting the sentence across two lines.
