The Counseling and Student Support Office of the California Department of Education completed a landmark statewide evaluation of school counseling programs in 2003, Assembly Bill 722 Study of Pupil Personnel Ratios, Services, and Programs. This monograph presents the findings of the study with recommendations for strengthening school counseling programs. The report includes information on the relationships of student/counselor ratios and program characterizes to No Child Led Behind-related student outcomes. The report provides essential information for policy-makers, guidance directors, educational leaders, and school counseling practitioners who are concerned with strengthening school counseling programs.
