Defines "low-income LEAs" as those that: (1) serve students at least 20% of which are from low-income families; (2) have ratios of school counselors, school social workers, and psychologists to students that fall at least 10% below specified target ratios; and (3) have been identified as needing improvement or corrective action or that include at least one school identified as needing improvement, corrective action, or restructuring under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.

Requires the use of the grant funds to:

  • provide program graduate students with field training at partnership LEA schools;
  • contribute to program graduates' salaries at such schools for up to three years after they graduate;
  • increase the number of school counselors, school social workers, and psychologists per student in such schools;
  • recruit, hire, and retain culturally or linguistically under-represented graduate students in school counseling, school social work, or school psychology;
  • enhance the capacity of partnership graduate schools to train such professionals;
  • develop course work designed to facilitate such graduates' service to low-income LEAs and at-risk students; and
  • provide tuition credits to such graduate students and student loan forgiveness to program graduates employed as school counselors, school social workers, or psychologists by low-income LEAs for at least five consecutive years.

Directs the Secretary to establish a program providing student loan forgiveness to non-participants in this Act's grant program who have been employed for at least five consecutive years as school counselors, school social workers, or psychologists by low-income LEAs.

Requires the Secretary to identify a formula for future use in designating regions as eligible for benefit programs due to their having a shortage of such school personnel.
