Goal: To spread awareness to legislators and decision makers that counselors are integral to the success of students at high schools. We want to make sure legislators in California know that budget cuts to education hurt our students by removing or limiting access to counseling in their schools.
Message: Counselors are the connecting force for students in high school and post-secondary programs and colleges. Counselors are keeping kids in school, supporting the students’ families, supporting the staff at the high school, among other things.
Some key topics to use as stories and examples:
- Financial aid
- Learning loss
- Distance learning
- Lost students
- Loss of funding impact on families and how counselors mitigate that
- Personal stories of counseling students
