Wiseburn Board Hears Comments
on Resolution to Cut Counselors
By Duane Plank
Last Thursday evening’s well-attended Wiseburn
School Board meeting (under the guidance
of Vice President/Clerk Roger Banuelos in the
absence of President JoAnne Kaneda) featured
comments from seven concerned community
members, teachers and parents who were
there to voice their thoughts about a pending
“discontinuance of particular kinds of service”
for the 2019/20 school year.
The Board later in the meeting adopted a
resolution that would eliminate, at least at this
time, school counselor positions during Wiseburn
Unified School District’s 2019/20 school
year. The resolution cited the Board’s need to
“meet fiscal and programmatic obligations.”
The community members, some very emotional,
were adamant in their support of the
value provided to the community by schoolsite
counselors, with remarks touching upon
the assets the counselors are to the elementary
school students and the impact they make on
young learners. The speakers shared positive
experiences with District counselors that have
been critical to their children’s growth, as well
as personal stories of the impact on young
learners and their families.
Board member reports followed. Dr. Neil
Goldman thanked the public speakers and
noted that the Board and administrators have
received letters from concerned parents anxious
over the proposed counselor reduction. He
also spoke of the strategic master plan that
the District is developing, commenting, “We
are continuing to move forward so that we
can be the best for you and our community.
We will try to act accordingly, and follow-up
on your comments.” Nelson Martinez thanked
the speakers, saying, “As a father of two, my
children benefit from the counseling services,
and I can certainly understand the comments
that were made here tonight.” He also recognized
the letter writers who were not able to
attend Thursday’s meeting.
Chief Business Official David Wilson made
a very brief presentation, and then Assistant
Superintendent, Educational Services Dr. Aileen
Harbeck spoke about the recent Project Lead
the Way (PLTW) training that District teachers
have completed, noting that more Wiseburn
instructors are involved in the program than
ever before. She also gave praise to the Wiseburn
Education Foundation for i0ts financial
support of myriad programs.
In his comments, Superintendent Dr. Blake
Silvers gave the District’s perspective on the
proposed counselor reduction. He noted that
he understood that the resolution to be passed
later in the meeting could cause “feelings of
discomfort and frustration. “We do not plan to
cut counseling services to our students in the
elementary schools,” he said. “In our analysis
of our current program, we sincerely believe
that we can do better and provide a better and
more defined level of counseling support for
our schools. Our new model will allocate an
additional $30-50,000 into the area of student
support services and through both counseling
and administrative intervention support. Students
will not see a lapse in service. We have
heard from the community and we know that
our students are using our counseling services.
We need to do right by our community and
continue to provide the best services.” Silvers
thanked the citizens who attended the meeting
and said he was “encouraged by the path we
have moving forward to ensure our students
thrive.”
The Board also approved the mandated
Student Plan for Student Achievement, the
adoption of the plan to utilize a block grant
($124,500) from the state that benefits perceived
low-performing students. The members also
approved the comprehensive safe school plans
-- a hot-button issue as districts fine-tune their
policies to ensure student and employee safety
on campus; as well as a 2.5 percent pay bump
for many District employees.
Silvers commented that he wanted to thank
the principals and District Assistant Superintendent,
Student Services Dr. Mary Ring for
