Tell legislators to give Washington schools the tools they need to support the needs of the whole child, and pass House Bills 2816 and 2690.
Students from Summit Atlas Public School
The best learning happens when schools are equipped to support the whole child.
Safe and supportive school environments that center social-emotional learning alongside academics have led to better student-teacher relationships, decreased instances of violence and bullying, and higher academic achievement overall. And for many students experiencing trauma or other mental health needs, schools can be a critical first point of access to getting the services they need to thrive.
House Representatives from both sides of the aisle have introduced two pieces of legislation that would help make significant progress in creating safe and supportive school climates. Representative Chris Corry (R-14) introduced House Bill 2816, which would create a model policy for schools building positive school climates across the state. House Bill 2690, introduced by Representative Lisa Callan (D-5), would take steps to implement a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) across our K-12 system, a proven strategy for creating and sustaining responsive and supportive learning environments that target student academic, social-emotional, and mental health needs.
Children experience a greater sense of power and success when they are given the tools to navigate their growth as a student and as a whole person.
