School Counselor Restructuring

•Initiatives to increase guidance services have been funded over the past several years.

•These initiatives could be rolled back to deliver guidance and career awareness services at the levels previously provided.

30

Specifics• Prior to 2006, High School Counselors were

staffed as follows:– The Guidance Director was assigned a 150 student

case load. Counselors were added at a ratio of 300 students to one counselor.

• Starting in 2006, High School Counselors are currently staffed as follows:– A school is assigned one 12 month counselor for 287

students. Counselors are added at a ratio of 225 students to one counselor.
