Tennessee SB0341 amends school counselor funding to ensure high schools with at least 600 students in grades 10-12 have a full-time licensed.
Tennessee SB0341 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, to ensure that local education agencies (LEA) with high schools enrolling at least 600 students in grades 10-12 receive funds to employ a full-time licensed professional school counselor. The bill allows LEAs to use these funds to convert part-time counselors to full-time positions if needed. Each full-time counselor must dedicate at least 70% of their time to working directly with high school students. The state board can establish additional roles and responsibilities for these counselors.
