School Mental Health Support Act.

Summary

The bill provides $50 million in recurring state funds for a School Mental Health Grant Program that lets public schools hire counselors, psychologists, social workers and other mental‑health professionals, especially where students have limited access. It also creates a Mental Health Worker Loan Repayment Program that pays up to 20% of eligible workers’ student debt for those who work full‑time in designated high‑need districts and graduated from a UNC‑system school. The goal is to expand mental‑health services for students and keep providers in underserved communities.
