Bill Summary
A BILL To make demonstration grants to eligible local educational agencies or consortia of eligible local educational agencies for the purpose of increasing the numbers of school nurses in public elementary schools and secondary schools.
AI Summary
This bill, the Nurses for Under-Resourced Schools Everywhere (NURSE) Act, aims to increase the number of school nurses in public elementary and secondary schools. The bill would establish a demonstration grant program through the Department of Education to provide funding to eligible local educational agencies or consortia of such agencies to hire more school nurses. Priority would be given to agencies with the greatest need for additional nursing services or those without any school nurses currently. The federal share of the grants would start at up to 75% and decrease over time to encourage the continuation of increased nurse staffing using state or local funding. The bill also requires the Secretary of Education to report on the effectiveness of the program in increasing the number of school nurses and the impact on student health and learning.
