Counselor's pay - Guidance Counselor Chicago Public Schools Employee Review

Too much red tape. It is nearly impossible to make changes or to add new programs. Every school has its own culture. A few are better than others. Some schools value counselors but many don't. Union doesn't support the newcomers well at all. Most teachers don't have a clue what counselors do and often make impossible demands. Caseload of 400+ are very common.
