Requires the department of education to report information regarding counselors, social workers and psychologists in schools and to implement a plan to increase the school counselor, school social worker and school psychologist to student ratio to nationally accepted standards and provide funding for such.

The bill requires New York's Department of Education to gather and report data about school counselors, social workers, and psychologists. It also aims to improve the ratio of these mental health professionals to students in schools to meet national standards and includes funding to support this initiative.

Supporters of the bill would highlight its potential to enhance student mental health services by ensuring that schools have enough counselors, social workers, and psychologists. They would argue that this investment is crucial for addressing the growing mental health needs of students and fostering a supportive educational environment.

Critics might argue that the bill could lead to increased spending without guaranteed outcomes, questioning the effectiveness of adding more mental health professionals. They may also express concerns about how the funding will be allocated and whether it will detract from other important educational resources.
