The Honorable Bob Etheridge of North Carolina in the
House of Representatives
“Pupil services personnel, the men and women who are our school counselors, school psychologists, SCHOOL SOCIAL WORKERS, and other school-based personnel, are essential components in our effort to guarantee that no child is left behind. These educators help ensure student achievement by securing a safe learning environment, helping to solve problems students experience that extend far beyond the schoolyard…”
