What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, beginning the 2018-19 school year, the Department of Public Instruction must award grants on a competitive basis to school boards and operators of independent charter schools for the purpose of collaborating with community mental health agencies to provide mental health services to pupils.

Current law specifies that DPI must award at least $3,250,000 in these grants each school year. This bill increases the funding for these grants by $7,000,000 and requires DPI to award at least $10,250,000 in these grants each school year.
