What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, the Department of Public Instruction must establish and

administer a grant program to award grants for the costs of obtaining the education

required for a school social worker license issued by DPI. The grants may only be

awarded to an individual who is a member of a racial minority group and who is

either an employee of a school board or enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate

program leading to licensure as a school social worker.
