Pupil services: educational counseling.

Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district to provide a comprehensive educational counseling program for all pupils enrolled in the school district. Existing law does not prohibit persons participating in an organized advisory program approved by the governing board of a school district, and supervised by a school district counselor, from advising pupils pursuant to the organized advisory program. This bill would expressly authorize the governing board of a school district, as part of an organized advisory program, to partner with local or community mental health providers or clinics to administer any part of its comprehensive educational counseling program.
