[quote=Anonymous]A lot of extra services including mental health were expanded right after COVID so many people were hired. However, now the federal and state funding has been cut back to pre-COVID levels so they are letting go this extra support.

This is from a board doc in 2022:

Enhancements and Innovations for 2022–2023:
○ Additional staffing was allocated for school counselors
▪ 44 part time elementary counselors
▪ 16 part time middle school counselors
▪ 16 high schools received additional counseling support
▪ Increase in school-based ESOL counselor allocations to 1.0 Full Time Equivalent
at 7 high schools.

Enhancements and Innovations for 2022–2023
During the 2021–2022 school year, the Student, Family, and School Services (SFSS) team was increased by 14 PCCs. For the upcoming school year, PCCs will be assigned to schools through a new PCC cluster model. This new model will allow us to improve services to schools and families in several ways:
● increase support within a cluster, particularly with vertical articulation among families,
● extend outreach to a greater number of schools
● optimize family outreach services in school communities most impacted by poverty
and those with high Emergent Multilingual Learner populations.
A group of systemwide PCCs will continue to provide support in English, and in the following languages: Amharic, Chinese, French, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, and Vietnamese.
