Mandate school counselors for grades K-12

Created by M.B. on January 15, 2013

Today's school counselors are vital members of the education team. They help all students in the areas of academic achievement, personal/social development and career development, ensuring today's students become the productive, well-adjusted adults of tomorrow.
School counselors are uniquely trained to help kids with a wide variety of issues, and are responsible for their academic, social, and emotional well-being. They are trained to identify students who are having issues and to find the best course of action for them, and also to support and advocate for all students. This petition is to mandate schools to have a school counselor in every school for grades K-12 and have a reasonable student to counselor ratio.
