What this bill would do

This bill seeks to establish the Mental Health in Schools Excellence Program. The program is designed to increase the recruitment and retention of school-based mental health services providers. It authorizes the Secretary of Education to enter into agreements with eligible graduate institutions to cover portions of a participating student's cost of attendance. Under these agreements, the Secretary will match contributions made by the graduate institutions. The program aims to build the available workforce for school-based mental health services through these public-private contributions.
