U.S.C. 8001 et. seq) is amended by adding at the end the following:

''PART L--RESOURCE STAFF FOR STUDENTS

''SEC. 10993. FINDINGS.

''Congress finds the following:
''(1) Although 7,500,000 children under the age of 18
require mental health services, fewer than 1 in 5 of these
children receive the services.
''(2) Across the United States, counseling professionals
have an extremely busy caseload and often students do no get
the help they need. The current national average ratio of
students to counselors in elementary and secondary schools is
513:1.
''(3) Schools in the United States need more mental health
professionals, and the funds needed to hire staff to
specifically serve students.
''(4) The maximum recommended ratio of students-to-
counselors is 250:1.
''(5) Existing counselors are severely taxed to perform
duties that are largely administrative in nature, such as
scheduling. They are burdened with many demands regarding
placement in colleges, texting, career guidance, and the like.
''(6) Student populations are expected to grow
significantly over the next few years. School-based services
for students will be in great demand. With expected large scale
retirements, more than 100,000 new dedicated resource staff for
students will be needed to increase student-to-staff service
availability.
''(7) Federal support for reducing the student-to-staff
ratio would pay for itself, through reduced violence and
substance abuse, and through improvements in students' academic
achievement.

''SEC. 10994. PURPOSES.

''The purposes of this part are to assist local educational
agencies in recruiting, training, and hiring 100,000 school-based
resource staff to specifically work with students--
''(1) to reduce the student-to-counseling ratios
nationally, in grades 6-12, to an average of 1 such staff for
every 250 students as recommended in a report by the Institute
of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences relating to
schools and health, issued in 1997;
''(2) to help address the mental, emotional, and
developmental needs of public school students; and
''(3) to support other school staff and teachers in
reaching students early before problems arise, conducting
behavioral interventions to improve school discipline, and
developing the awareness and skills to identify early warning
signs of violence and the need for mental health services.
