An Act To Provide Incentives To Schools That Contract For Certain Social Work And Family Therapy Services
This bill proposes to provide $250,000 in state funding for grants to school districts in Maine. The money is intended to help schools pay for contracted social work and family therapy services for students. These grants will be distributed based on the population size of each school district. The legislation does not change the types of services available but adds financial support to help schools access them.
