School counselors requirements modifications
This bill requires every Minnesota K-12 public school building to have at least one school counselor, replacing previous ratio-based guidelines. It mandates that counselors spend at least 80% of their time directly serving students through specific services like academic/career planning, classroom instruction on social-emotional development, mental health support, and data-driven program planning. The law also maintains existing licensing requirements for counselors. These changes apply directly to all public K-12 schools across Minnesota and their counseling staff.
