Texas chaplains as counselors: Houston ISD votes down proposal to allow worship leaders to serve in schools without certification
SUMMARY: Houston ISD-appointed board managers voted to prevent uncertified chaplains from serving as school counselors, in response to a law allowing such hires to address a shortage of mental health professionals. However, chaplains with the right qualifications are still eligible for hire. Some argue that chaplains are not qualified to provide mental health support and that their hiring poses a separation of church and state issue. School boards across Texas have until March 1 to vote on whether to authorize their campuses to hire chaplains. Experts stress the importance of properly trained and qualified professionals in dealing with students' mental health needs.
