How long do our students have to wait to see the Distict psychologist, if indeed the District is fortunate enough even to have one! When will appropriate numbers of experts in companion fields to education be added to the education system? All should not fall to the shoulders of teachers nor to the education budget. There has been talk of shared services; it's past time to act on the talk.
Please continue to share your issues and concerns as I travel through your area. This week, I'll be attending a meeting of Branch 0619 Tuesday, and hope to meet many area teachers as I visit schools through the day.
