Elementary and Secondary School Counseling Act

Summary

The bill would give the Education Secretary authority to award formula‑based grants to states, which would then subgrant to local school districts to hire counselors, psychologists, and social workers for high‑need schools. It targets schools where student‑to‑provider ratios exceed recommended levels, aiming to improve mental‑health support and reduce dropout rates. States must match 20 % of the grant and report current staffing ratios.
