Universal Public School Nurses for Safer Students Amendment Act of 2025

This bill requires all District of Columbia public and public charter schools to provide at least 40 hours per week of school nurse coverage during school days, effective August 1, 2028. It also establishes a program offering school nurses up to $10,000 annually to help repay student loans and cover eligible educational expenses. The law directly affects DC public and charter schools by mandating nurse staffing levels and school nurses through financial support for education costs. The State Board of Education unanimously supported the bill, citing current coverage gaps as a concern for student health.
