AI Summary

This bill, the Expanding Access to Mental Health Services in Schools Act of 2024, aims to increase the number of school-based mental health services providers in high-need local educational agencies. It authorizes the Secretary of Education to award competitive grants to eligible agencies, such as high-need local educational agencies and state educational agencies, to support the recruitment, hiring, retention, and diversification of these providers. The bill requires grant recipients to contribute non-federal matching funds and use the funds to hire providers, implement strategies to recruit and retain them, and provide professional development. The bill also sets reporting requirements for grant recipients to track progress, such as the number of providers employed and the student-to-provider ratio.
