Students seeking advice on their scholastic and professional futures may find themselves waiting longer for an appointment starting this fall, when Glendale Unified School District will see the impact of losing about a third of its counselors.
As a result of the district’s decision to eliminate 10 of its 32 middle and high school counseling positions, each remaining counselor will be responsible for serving 200 more students annually at a swollen ratio of 600 students to 1 counselor.
The move is expected to save the district $820,000.
The change will not result in any layoffs, because four counselors are retiring and others are switching to teaching positions, but some counselors on temporary work contracts may not be asked to return in the fall if the district cannot afford to keep them employed, Supt. Michael Escalante said.
