Lockport Township High School District 205 to rebrand counselors, deans and nurses as 'student services'
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Bob McBride said the district is consolidating counselors, social workers, psychologists, nurses, registrars and related roles under a 'student services' label to clarify wraparound supports for families and students.
Dr. Bob McBride, superintendent of Lockport Township High School District 205, said the district is rebranding guidance staff, deans, registrars and nurses under the umbrella of "student services" to make wraparound supports clearer to families and students.
"We are in a process right now where we are working hard to really make sure that you as parents, students, staff members understand all of the wraparound services that we prevent, issues with students, that we provide for students outside the classroom," McBride said. He listed school counselors, social workers, psychologists, Will County mental health, student discipline, records, registrar, attendance and school nurses as part of the consolidated services.
McBride said the district briefed the board on the plan and that more information will be shared over the school year; he did not describe a formal board vote or an implementation timeline in the briefing.
