Mental Health
131. Mental Health
We oppose all mental, emotional, or well-being surveys, screenings, check-ins, assessments, and similar such instruments in public schools and demand that the Texas Legislature ban all psychological or mental health questions, instruction, activities, surveys, and check-ins in any capacity in public schools. If an employee or contractor of the district has the opinion that a child needs to be referred to a mental health professional, he or she shall make such a recommendation to the parent or guardian of the child. We implore the Legislature to require informed parental consent prior to these and any other psychological questions being presented to a student. The Legislature shall enact strict penalties for violation of parental rights regarding school health and mental health services and order the strict enforcement of such penalties.
