Happy Counselor Appreciation Week! As we celebrate this week, we’d like to take time to acknowledge our counselors for the hard work and dedication they’ve always shown. We know how important your work is outside and inside of our classrooms. With your help and guidance, our students are able to thrive and achieve goals in and beyond academia. It is unfortunate that our District has chosen to reduce our counselors by $500,000. As we honor and recognize the important work that our counselors do, we are resolved to fight for a fair and transparent layoff process that minimizes the impact on our students. The PVFT stands in solidarity with our counselors who have a direct impact on our students’ academic and social emotional well-being.
