Amends TCA Title 49.
Tennessee SB0341 requires the Department of Education to allocate sufficient funds to each local education agency (LEA) to employ one full-time licensed professional school counselor at each high school with at least 600 students in grades 10-12, starting with the 2025-2026 school year. The bill allows LEAs to convert part-time counselor positions to full-time and provides guidelines for the employment of counselors based on student-to-counselor ratios. Additionally, it classifies the funds provided under this bill as additional LEA funds for the Tennessee investment in student achievement formula (TISA).
