AI Summary
This bill creates a program for school districts to apply for grants to address the mental health needs of their K-12 students. The grants can be used to hire or contract with additional school counselors, school nurses, and community or private mental health providers. The grants are calculated based on a school district's average daily membership (ADM) at a rate of $206 per student, and districts must apply for the grants by June 30th for the upcoming school year. The bill appropriates $37 million from the public school foundation program account to fund the grant program for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years, and requires the Department of Education to provide findings and recommendations to the Joint Education Interim Committee on the number of students served and any recommendations for refinement of the education resource block grant model.
