There are children that need a Licenced Clinical Social Worker who is trained to assist them with there needs. There are children out there who need to be understood. What about these children who are bullied and need therapy to cope with it so they do not do anything to hurt themselves or anyone else. Or how about the bullies that need to be counseled

Please don't ask another professional to provide for a student what a social worker provides. The skill set is entirely different. That is why Social Workers earn an MSW and go on to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker or a Licensed Master Social Worker in the state of New York.

If not for the sake of your children, at least save the positions for the sake of your school's rank and community opinions that are sure to become negative after the social workers are eliminated. School Social Workers are an integral part of any functioning community.

Lack of such support will render the task of educating youth hopeless, as they focus on the difficulties yet face outside of the classroom instead of trying to over come the difficulties they face inside the classroom.

Losing social workers in Longwood School District as well as any other district will increase the risk of youth facing many challenges they cannot overcome. It is the most extreme importance to keep professional social workers in our schools for the sake of our children.

By eliminating Social Workers, you are eliminating people who are highly trained to work with children in a specific manner who cannot be substituted by other professions such as teachers, nurses, or guidance counselors. To believe these other professionals can engage, interact, and understand psychosocial development and issues in the same manner is foolish and poses a huge disservice to the children.

I undersatnd the State as a whole is strained for money but when it comes to education, as a parent I don't want that touched!! Hands of my child's education!
