Assembly Bill 260 establishes a pilot school-centered mental health program in Wisconsin, aimed at providing mental health support to at-risk pupils and their families. The bill mandates the Department of Health Services (DHS) to allocate funds to a provider for operating this program in two schools—one in a rural district and one in a suburban or urban district—over the 2025-27 biennium. The program is designed to offer year-round services, including evidence-based therapy, family coaching, and collaboration with school staff to develop tailored interventions for students. The provider is responsible for employing full-time therapists and family coaches to facilitate these services.

Additionally, the bill requires the selected provider to submit a comprehensive report to DHS six months after the program's conclusion, detailing its impact on pupils and families. This report must include data on changes in social determinants of health, mental health symptoms, and academic performance, as well as feedback from surveys conducted at the participating schools. DHS is then tasked with distributing this report to the legislature, ensuring transparency and accountability regarding the program's effectiveness.
