Federal funds for trauma-informed practices and supportive discipline in schools.
This law directs federal education funds toward implementing "trauma-informed practices" in schools nationwide. It mandates training for staff to understand how adverse experiences affect student behavior and learning, ensuring a more supportive environment. The goal is to replace harsh disciplinary actions with restorative practices and positive interventions, benefiting students' emotional health and academic success.
Key points
Federal funding criteria now require schools to adopt trauma-informed practices and staff training.
Disciplinary procedures must shift away from punitive measures toward holistic assessments and restorative justice to address underlying trauma.
Schools must actively plan to promote a culture of acceptance, safety, and emotional well-being for all students.
