October 2, 2008 Consultation

Please include the following to the October 2, 2008 Instructional Consultation agenda:

Counseling Positions – We have several questions:

How many counseling positions have been eliminated from campus budgets this year?

How many counseling positions have been turned into Dean positions?

Are Deans doing the same job previously done by counselors as well as other administrative duties?

Are some schools using social workers as counselors? Do social workers and counselors have the same training and are they on the same salary schedule?

With counseling positions being eliminated, why is there still a counselor ACP program?

With the evident changes taking place in school based counseling, what long-range plans does the district have to ensure the social and emotional development of a child?
