Data Quality.The data reported is for the FY 2007 cohort of grantees, and covers only school counselors, not the other qualified mental health professionals that can be supported with program funds. The program statute includes a recommended ratio of students tocounselors of 250:1.
This cohortincluded 35 grantees; 33 of those grantees intended to hire school counselors. (The other two sites planned to hire other types of qualified mental health professionals.) Of the 33 sites that intended to hire counselors, 30 sites (or about 90 percent of those sites that intended to hire counselors) provided data for this measure.
More detailed results from individual grant sites in this cohort, including information about school social workers and school psychologist hired,are available at: .

Target Context.Grants provide funding to hire qualified mental health professionals. Performance in each grant year will be assessed by comparing the ratios provided by grantees to their baseline ratios.
