School-Based Mental Health Professional Use of Time Survey Due Nov. 1, 2023
Kentucky School Counselors,
Just a heads up that the below message was sent to superintendents through the Commissioner's Monday Message on Oct. 9. This will run every week until Nov. 1.
Please work with your superintendent or designee to share data on your use of time. This is a great opportunity to help educate others on the work that you do as a school counselor!
It is important to note that there have been technical issues reported when trying to access the link through email communication. If you are experiencing technical issues, you can access the survey by visiting the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) School Counseling webpage.
Per KRS 158.4416(3)(e), the local school district superintendent shall report to KDE no later than Nov. 1:
- The number of school-based mental health service providers;
- The position held;
- Placement in the district;
- Certification or licensure held;
- The source of funding for each position;
- A summary of the job duties and work undertaken by each school-based mental health service provider; and
- The approximate percent of time devoted to each duty over the course of the year.
This School-Based Mental Health Services Provider Professional Use of Time Survey has been created by KDE so that each school district's superintendent can fulfill this requirement. At the link provided, there is a "Read Me First" tab which gives instructions on how to best complete this process. Please submit your spreadsheet via email attachment to KDEResearch@education.ky.gov.
For technical questions or assistance, please contact Leslie McKinney. If you require clarification or have any questions regarding the survey, please contact Michelle Sircy.
