Advocate today! The 2025 legislative session is underway, and we already have an important opportunity to support two significant bills addressing education and school psychology. SB 259 is our School Psychologist Omnibus bill, which includes an increase in compensation for school psychologists, a school psychologist grant program, a school psychologist intern program, funds for a school psychologist virtual program through App State, increased funds for school psychologist training programs, and an interstate compact for school psychologists. HB 192 aims to significantly raise pay for teachers and instructional staff (including school psychologists!!) across our state.
Your engagement is crucial in advancing our profession’s interests and supporting educational professionals statewide. Please reach out to the LPP Committee if you need any help contacting legislators and be sure to complete our Advocacy Tracker letting us know you’ve made contact.
