Bill overview
The Counseling Not Criminalization in Schools Act aims to shift federal funding away from school resource officers and related law enforcement programs and instead invest in mental health services and trauma-informed support for students. It prohibits the use of federal funds for hiring, maintaining, or training police officers in elementary and secondary schools, and establishes a grant program to replace these officers with counselors, social workers, and other support staff. The bill also directs schools to reform disciplinary policies and prioritize evidence-based practices that don’t rely on the criminal justice system.
