That is simply, simply not what SB 41 would do. The bill wouldn't create a state takeover of local classrooms. It wouldn't create a process for experts, educators, parents, and stakeholders to develop age-appropriate resources that schools could use to help students better understand mental health and access support when they need it. The governor also argued that school districts are already working to meet existing requirements and suggested that decisions involving mental health instruction should remain as close as possible to parents, local school boards, and communities. But SB 41, it didn't remove parents from the conversation.
