Bill to require trauma training for teachers passes House Education

Sen Katrina Jackson (D) Monroe A bill mandating trauma training for all public-school teachers, counselors, and administrators passed unanimously through House Education. Monroe Senator Katrina Jackson’s bill requires instruction on how to recognize childhood trauma and address their needs. “Trauma’s one of the leading causes in our state, and in the rural areas, of children, not optimizing their experience in their learning. And so, I believe it will protect students not only at school but at home,” said Jackson. Jackson said the one-hour class will be taught during in-service days for instructors so it will not be an unfunded mandate on education. Baton Rouge Representative Barbara Freiberg questioned if one hour was enough to instruct such a class. Jackson expressed she hopes class time will be extended in the future when they can dedicate funding for the class. Freiberg praised Jackson’s efforts.

Bill banning corporal punishment in school heads to House floor

House Education approves legislation outlawing the use of corporal punishment in Louisiana public schools. Baton Rouge Representative Barbara Freiberg, a retired educator, said children mirror the behavior they see in adults, and utilizing corporal punishment teaches kids to solve problems using violence. “This bill certainly would help us with not perpetuating hitting as a way to resolve conflict,” said Freiberg, who was supported by New Orleans Representative Aimee Freeman who argued utilizing corporal punishment creates a culture where domestic violence is more common. Board of Elementary and Secondary Education spokesperson Ethan Melancon told the committee BESE is strongly in favor of the bill.
