Increases school counseling services and funding for elementary and secondary schools nationwide.
The problem
Many schools lack sufficient counselors to support student mental health, academic planning, and college readiness. Students often receive inadequate guidance due to counselor shortages.
The proposal
Expands federal funding and grants for hiring school counselors and improving counseling programs in K-12 schools across the country.
The impact
Students gain better access to counselors. Schools hire more staff. Federal and local budgets increase spending on education counseling services.
More counselors help students manage stress, anxiety, and emotional challenges. Students get faster help when struggling with personal or academic problems.
Counselors guide students on course selection and study skills. Better support may help students graduate and prepare for college or careers.
New funding creates jobs for school counselors and related staff. Local economies benefit from new employment in education sectors.
More counselors identify struggling students earlier. Intervention can prevent serious issues like dropout or behavioral problems.
Federal funding for this program adds to the national budget. Taxpayers bear the cost of expanded counseling services nationwide.
Schools may struggle to hire qualified counselors quickly. Rural areas might find it harder to attract counseling professionals.
Even with funding, there may not be enough trained counselors available. Quality could suffer if schools hire less-qualified staff.
Bill does not specify how success is measured. Schools may struggle to prove the program improves student outcomes.

Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported.
