AI Summary
This bill, the School Social Workers Improving Student Success Act, aims to amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to provide grants to high-need local educational agencies (LEAs) to hire and retain school social workers. The grants would help these LEAs achieve a ratio of at least one school social worker for every 250 students, or one for every 50 students when serving higher-risk students. The bill defines a "school social worker" as an individual with a graduate degree in social work and the required state and local credentials. The bill also establishes a National Technical Assistance Center to support the hiring and retention of school social workers, including through data collection, training, and partnerships. The bill authorizes $100 million in funding per year from 2023 to 2027 to carry out these provisions.
