Our public schools are chock full of mental health practitioners, so I have no idea how other states/districts can't afford it.
It's a function of WHERE.
Some districts have the money and allocate it, some have the money but don't allocate it, and some simply don't have the money.
It’s about spending money wisely. Something that government at all levels has failed to do.
This chart appears to be from 2018.

The reason I said that is because I actually am in the "where" they can't "afford" it. Yet they do. We also have band, choir, orchestra in the public schools, even elementary, even though we're in one of the "where's" that can't afford it. Maybe it isn't a function of "where", or of even money spent per student.
