DISCUSSING RECURRING ISSUES LIKE FOUNDATION AID, AND CONSIDERING OPTIONS FOR COVID-RELATED ADVOCACY
JOIN US AS WE CONTINUE TO REFINE our advocacy priorities for the year. We'll be discussing issues like COVID guidelines and the realities of student mental health concerns. Work with us to prepare a list of what mandates are costing districts money and making operations more difficult.
SUPPORTING STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH IN ADDITION TO ACADEMIC NEEDS
WE ARE SEEING ANXIETY LEVELS RISE DUE TO ALL of the uncertainty, loss, and fear caused by the pandemic. School counselors need support to learn how to most effectively attend to student mental health in a remote or hybrid environment. We need to ensure staff are not only focusing on logistics, but have time to actively help students.
