Mental health training for teachers approved [View all]
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas school teachers would receive training to identify mental illness in their classrooms under a measure that has cleared the Texas Legislature.
Lawmakers sent the bill to the governor on Sunday. It would add the training to the requirements for a teaching certificate.
Republican Sen. Robert Deuell of Greenville has said about a million students in the state suffer from illnesses and addictions that contribute to failing grades, misbehavior, crime and sometimes suicide. He proposed the training to help teachers manage their classrooms.
