Article 7Provision of Guidance Services
Section § 1760
This law says that a county superintendent of schools can, with approval, hire staff to offer guidance services for students in smaller school districts. This applies to elementary districts with fewer than 901 students, high school districts with fewer than 301 students, and unified districts with fewer than 1,501 students, as long as the districts aren't already providing sufficient guidance services.
Section § 1761
This law says that a county superintendent of schools can make a deal with a school district's governing board to provide guidance services to the district's schools. This agreement needs the approval of the county board of education. The district must pay for these services, and the agreed costs will be moved from the district's funds to the county school service fund.
Section § 1762
This law states that anyone performing certain services must have a valid teaching credential from the Commission on Teacher Credentialing in order to do so legally.
