[quote=Anonymous]208 wellness centers
23 psychologists
2 social workers
19 full-time school counselors
15 part-time school counselors
7 leadership

The question is not the leadership ratio (approximately 8 or 10 to 1, depending on how they organize).  The question is the number of staff and how much staff time will be spent at wellness centers at each of the 208 schools that will be established?

Spreading the resources equally to all schools using a 40-hour workweek:
- Psychologist: 4 hrs 24 min per week per school
- Social Worker: 22 min per week per school
- Full-Time School Counselors: 3 hrs 38 min per week per school
- Part-Time (assume 20/hrs per week) School Counselors: 1 hr 26 min per week per school

Unfortunately, this is too optimistic an estimate.

In reality, unless they're planning to go to a family's house in the evening, the staff would only be able to work from 9 to 3 PM, at best (6 hour day, 30 hours a week)?

Using a 30-hour workweek, spreading the resources equally to all schools:
- Psychologist: 3 hrs 18 min per week per school
- Social Worker: 17 min per week per school
- Full-Time School Counselors: 2 hrs 43 min per week per school
- Part-Time (assume 15/hrs per week) School Counselors: 1 hr 4 min per week per school[/quote]
