This bill proposes an appropriation of one million dollars ($1,000,000) from the general fund to the Public Education Department for the establishment of a pilot program aimed at providing kindergarten through twelfth grade students and their families with access to a no-cost, comprehensive, and evidence-based mental health support platform. The program will include mental health education, self-management resources, and care navigation supports. Additionally, the bill outlines the need to contract for services to implement the program and requires the development of a report analyzing the program's impact to be submitted to the legislative education study committee.

The funding is designated for expenditure in fiscal years 2027 and 2028, and any unspent funds at the end of fiscal year 2028 will revert back to the general fund. This initiative seeks to enhance mental health support for students and their families, addressing a critical area of need in public education.
