This amendment provides $12 million in the second year from the general fund to increase state support for additional school counselors in elementary, middle, and high schools pursuant to House Bill 2053. The legislative intent is to lower the school counselor ratios beginning in fiscal year 2020 as follows: from one school counselor per 500 students to one counselor per 455 students in elementary schools, from one school counselor per 400 students to one counselor per 370 students in middle schools, and from one school counselor per 350 students to one counselor per 325 students in high schools.
