AI Summary
This bill aims to provide increased state funding allocations to school districts that hire more staff for physical, social, and emotional support roles, such as nurses, social workers, psychologists, and counselors. The bill requires the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to analyze and report on the implementation of these staffing allocations. It also makes changes to the prototypical school funding formula, including increasing minimum allocations for these support staff positions. The bill hopes that this additional state funding will allow school districts to redirect local levy dollars to address learning loss from the COVID-19 pandemic or hire more physical, social, and emotional support staff.
