Counseling Not Criminalization in Schools Act aims to redirect federal funding from police presence in schools to trauma-informed services.

The Counseling Not Criminalization in Schools Act seeks to eliminate federal funding for maintaining police in schools and establish a continuum of care and positive schoolwide systems of services that are evidence-based, inclusive, racially and gender responsive, and trauma informed. The Act prohibits federal funds from being used for hiring, maintaining, or training covered law enforcement officers. It also mandates that local educational agencies use grant funds to hire and train school counselors, psychologists, nurses, social workers, and other trauma-informed personnel.
