Supplemental pay and loan repayment programs; add salary supplement for school psychologists.

SB 2595 establishes Mississippi's Educational Counselor, Psychologist and Psychiatrist Loan Repayment Program, providing financial support to eligible mental health professionals working in public schools or colleges. It offers tiered annual loan repayments ($1,500-$6,000) based on school type (regular schools or those needing extra support), plus a specific $6,000 annual salary supplement for licensed school psychologists employed full-time by school districts or the state education board (not as administrators). To qualify, applicants must hold a standard license, work full-time in Mississippi public schools or higher education, have qualifying student loans, and not be in default. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
