So what does the law really say?
• Basically, that school counselors are to spend the majority of their time functioning as school counselors as defined by their State and national standards.
• 80% of the school counselors’ time in the delivery of counselor services to or for students
• 20% of the school counselors’ time in activities to support their programs such as participating in professional development, program planning, analyzing data from which to plan their services, collaborating with other staff, etc.

So what does the law really say?
• Imbedded within the 20% of time in program management is also the expectation of fair-share responsibilities which are the routine running of the school responsibilities that all members of the school staff take equal turns doing to ensure the school’s smooth operation.
• The law specifically states school counseling services and program support (the 80/20) does NOT include coordination of testing
