Subpart 2 of part F of title VIII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 ( 20 U.S.C. 7901 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following: Each State receiving funds under this Act shall establish and implement a statewide policy that school leaders, counselors, teachers, paraprofessionals, and other staff shall complete at least one hour of youth suicide awareness and prevention training each school year. In this section, the term youth suicide awareness and prevention training includes self or in-person review of materials— the State determines appropriate; and that include— the warning signs of, and elevate risk factors for, suicide; suggested responses to such warning signs; and further suicide awareness and prevention resources.
Nothing in this section shall be construed to preempt any State law to the extent that such State law imposes a more extensive requirement for youth suicide awareness and prevention training in such State. . It is the sense of Congress that— youth suicide awareness and prevention training materials should be available to all school teachers, principals, and other school leaders; each local educational agency should adopt a policy with respect to youth suicide awareness and prevention; and the Secretary of Education should collaborate with the Secretary of Health and Human Services to publically display and distribute information and resources on teen suicide prevention.
