Nevada schools get optional well-being screening guidance

Nevada’s education department must work with education and child mental and behavioral health experts to create and share a model screening policy. The policy covers students’ behavioral, social, and emotional well-being. It starts with screening all students and moves to individual support plans for students needing more help. It must include evidence-based methods, scientifically validated tools to identify mental health and substance use risks, staff training, and effectiveness checks. District boards, charter school governing bodies, university schools for profoundly gifted pupils, and private schools may adopt it. Adoption is optional, and schools may tailor how they use it to their needs, priorities, and resources. The law took effect upon passage and approval.
