BOE Policy Authorization

In accordance with Policy 8002, Whitesboro has developed a comprehensive, standards-based counseling program. Whitesboro’s School Counseling Program values results-based best practices in order to better serve our students. The counseling support systems are goal oriented and developmental in nature, based on various types of student data (attendance, grades and behavior). More importantly, data is collected from students and parents via surveys, focus groups and individual meetings to assist in informing annual goals set by the counseling department. These services aim to help all students, no matter their individual circumstances, to maximize their potential and to develop the skills necessary to become contributing members of a global society.
