S 2811

Requires school report card to include information concerning number of school psychologists and security personnel employed by each school district

S 2811 (Singleton) NJEA supports S2811, which would require information concerning the number of school psychologists and security personnel employed by school districts be included on the New Jersey School Report Card. However, we request that in addition to the number of school psychologists, the numbers of other mental health professionals, including social workers, guidance counselors and student assistance coordinators (SACs), working in schools be included as well. By requiring school districts to provide information regarding all mental health professionals and school security officers, the public will have access to useful and more comprehensive data regarding their schools.

NJEA urges you to SUPPORT S2811.
