Funding School Chaplains Leads to Improved Mental
Health & Graduation Rates in Schools
Many people think that school chaplains are
a non-essential part of the school system
and that funding should be focused on
academic subjects alone.
However, the NSCA has data
from thousands of schools
around the US showing how
chaplains contribute to the
school's overall performance.
Their awareness
campaign sheds
light on the
importance of
school chaplains in
both private and
public schools.
The NSCA believes that
having a chaplain in
residence diminishes
incidents of violence,
increases school safety,
and improves the students’
and teachers’ mental
health.
This is why the NSCA is
working hard to find funding
for school chaplains in Texas.
They aim to put a chaplain in
every school to bring prayer
back into the community.
Many studies show the
benefits of having a solid
religious foundation, including
better mental health, more
respect for authority, and
improved relationships with
others.
The proposed bill, S.B 763,
permits schools to hire school
chaplains as guidance counselors.
Funding for the said project will
come from funds allocated for
school safety.
