Universal Public School Nurses for Safer Students Amendment Act of 2024

This bill requires that every public and public charter school in the District of Columbia have a registered nurse on staff for at least 40 hours each week starting in 2028, regardless of whether the school currently participates in the state's health services program. To help attract and keep qualified staff, the legislation creates a loan repayment program that covers undergraduate and graduate education costs for nurses working in these schools. The Department of Health will manage this program by reviewing applications, disbursing funds by June 30 each year, and ensuring that current participants receive their awards before approving new ones.
