2021-S82 - Sponsor Memo

                                
 
BILL NUMBER: S82

SPONSOR: HOYLMAN
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the education law, in relation to enacting the student
suicide prevention act

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To provide requirements to local governing board or body of a local
educational agency that serves student in grades 7 to 12, to adopt a
policy on student suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 of the bill provides the rationale for the need for the local
governing board or body of an educational agency that serves students in
grades 7 to 12 to have policy related to youth suicide prevention and
crisis response.

Section 2 of the bill provides definitions of related terms.

Section 3 of the bill states that the local governing board or body of
an educational agency that serves students in grades 7 to 12 should,
before the beginning of the 2020-21 school year, adopt a policy on
student suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention in grades 7 to
12, inclusive. Further, it directs the policy to be inclusive of high
risk groups. Additionally, section 3 includes a declaration that no
cause of action is created based upon the requirements of this bill, nor
is a specific duty to care created. Finally, it requires a review of the
policy at minimum every five years.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

According to the New York State Office of Mental Health, suicide has
recently become the tenth leading cause of death in the United States,
surpassing the death rate by motor vehicle accidents, homicides and
breast cancer.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), New
York has one of the lowest suicide rates in the nation at 8.6 per every
100,000 people. New York's high population rate, however, makes it among
the top six states ranked by number of suicide deaths. New York has seen
a 32% increase in suicide deaths over the last decade.  The CDC further
reports that among high school students in New York in 2017, 17.4% seri-
ously considered suicide and 10.1% made non-fatal suicide attempts.

Each year, 4,600 children and teens, age 10-19, die by suicide making it
the second leading cause of death for that age group. Schools play a
critical role in suicide prevention and intervention efforts for youth
in crisis. When youths are in crisis, it is essential that the adults
around them be equipped to recognize issues and respond appropriately.
It is equally important that those in crisis be able to .access
resources that provide care, support and safety. School aged youth spend
at least 1/3 of their day in schools, giving teachers, administrators
and other school staff the unique ability to provide a supportive envi-
ronment.

 SUICIDE  IS THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS
 TEN TO TWENTY-FOUR YEARS OF AGE, INCLUSIVE, IN BOTH  THE  UNITED  STATES

   2.  AS  CHILDREN  AND  TEENS SPEND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF THEIR YOUNG

 ARE  ESSENTIAL  GATEKEEPERS FOR RECOGNIZING WARNING SIGNS OF SUICIDE AND
 MAKING THE APPROPRIATE REFERRALS FOR HELP.

JUSTIFICATION:

According to the New York State Office of Mental Health, suicide has
recently become the tenth leading cause of death in the United States,
surpassing the death rate by motor vehicle accidents, homicides and
breast cancer. According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), New York has one of the lowest suicide rates in the
nation at 8.6 per every 100,000 people. New York's high population rate,
however, makes it among the top six states ranked by number of suicide
deaths. New York has seen a 32% increase in suicide deaths over the last
decade. The CDC further reports that among high school students in New
York in 2017, 17.4% seriously considered suicide and 10.1% made non-fa-
tal suicide attempts.

Each year, 4,600 children and teens, age 10-19, die by suicide making it
the second leading cause of death for that age group. Schools play a
critical role in suicide prevention and intervention efforts for youth
in crisis. When youths are in crisis, it is essential that the adults
around them be equipped to recognize issues and respond appropriately.
It is equally important that those in crisis be able to access resources
