Just curious... What type of school are you in - public/private; elementary/middle/secondary? Do you have a: school counselor? librarian? P.E. teacher? art teacher? music teacher? school nurse? computer/tech teacher? (anything else I'm forgetting?) These professionals used to be in every school, and now fewer and fewer schools have them. They are all so badly needed though. --- I'm in a public elementary school. We have no counselor, no librarian, and no nurse. The others are shared within the district.
Public elementary school, approximately 750 kiddos 2 counselors, 1 librarian, 2 PE teachers, 1.4 art teachers, 1.6 music teachers, a total of about 1 band/strings teacher, and a school nurse we share with five schools.
Ekementary school, K-4. We have all of the above plus school psychologist Speech pathologist OT/PT Tech coordinator Tech support guy Reading specialist Staff developer Part time Spanish teacher Part time gifted ed
Public ("charter" ), grades 6-12. We have 2 counselors, no librarian (no library), a P.E. teacher, an Art teacher, no music teacher, and a nurse.
Public school 500 something kids. We have 1 counselor but she doesn't counsel she is more testing coridinator. We have a music/art teacher. We have 1 coach. We have a librarian but she is only at our school 1 or 2 days a week. We share her with the rest do the district. We have a nurse. No certified technology teacher. No vice principal. The district has a technology tech for most of the campuses but to be honest I don't see much of ours. All in all we are pretty lucky in what we have. I can't complain too much.
Smaller public school, maybe something around 300 kids or so. 0.2 counselor, 0.6 PE, 0.6 or 0.8 Music (can't remember), 0.4 librarian, no art, nurse (somewhere between 0.2 and 0.8 haha). Even the spec. ed. teacher is 0.6. *sigh*
Public JK - grade 8 with just shy of 630 students. We have a teacher-librarian (who is also the Literacy Lead), Phys Ed teacher, music teacher.
We are in a public PreK-12 school with two buildings, 1 PreK-5 and the other 6-12. We have around 650 students. school counselor? Yes, one in each building. librarian? Yes, one for the district. P.E. teacher? Yes, one for the district. art teacher? Yes, one in each building. music teacher? Yes, one elementary, one band, one vocal...rumor is we will be down to two next year due to lack of interest AND budget. school nurse? Yes, one for the district computer/tech teacher? Yes, one for the district. We are a 1:1 district.
Public. Very small school (graduate 60 a year). We have all except a nurse. We have two music-one band and one choir. They split time between us and the elementary.
Public elementary school, k-5 in California with about 650 students school counselor? School psychologist but not a counselor librarian?yes P.E. teacher?No art teacher?No music teacher?No school nurse?yes but only part time. We also have a part time computer lab person who used to teach full time second grade..she is fantabulous but district wants her position cut....
I'm in a public K-6 school with approximately 500 kids. We have no counselor, but we do have a full time school psych who essentially takes on that role as well. We do have a full time art teacher, PE teacher, and music teacher. A para runs the library. We also have a para as a "health office assistant" who basically takes the place of a school nurse. She's not certified or anything like that. There is one nurse for the whole district that oversees the paras that run the health offices. I've been in three different schools and have never had an actual librarian or nurse...these positions are always run by paras.
Large, urban, public elementary school: over 1400 students. school counselor?- Yes, he splits his time 50/50 with a nearby school, so in the event of an emergency he can get to the other school quickly. librarian? Ish. Yes, we have a librarian, but it's a part time position so between the librarian and the aide every class gets library time every week. P.E. teacher? Yes art teacher? No music teacher? Yes, but each class only gets 8 weeks per year with this teacher school nurse? Yes, but the poor woman is split between about 10 schools. computer/tech teacher? Yes and no. We have one and she does teach every class every week. We have paraprofessionals that run the computer labs for us, but it's the classroom teacher's responsibility to do the teaching during our daily lab time.
K-5 site with 600 students. I'm sad to say that all we have is a school nurse (1x/week) and school counselor (1x/week). We do, however, have a library assistant who works full-time (she only checks in/out books and shelves them) and a health assistant (3 hours/day).
We have all of those except an art teacher. But we do frequently have artists coming from a local university to do projects with the kids. We also have a dance teacher, psychologist, social worker, attendance monitor (she probably has some official title I can't think of) parent coordinator, OT, PT (part time), 2 speech therapists, character enrichment teacher (also handles in school suspension), and out of classroom science and math teacher (who teach in addition to the science and math I do in the classroom)
What type of school are you in - public/private; elementary/middle/secondary? Charter elementary with about 800 students Do you have a: school counselor? Yes, full time. We also have a part time psychologist we share with another campus. librarian?No. I don't remember the last time I heard of a school in CA having an actual librarian. Library aide, maybe... P.E. teacher? No. Aides teach PE. art teacher?Yes music teacher?Yes school nurse?Yes, but part time. The rest of the time we have a "health aide." computer/tech teacher? No. We have no computer labs - the computers are in the classrooms. We do have a full time tech support person, though. (anything else I'm forgetting?) My charter has FAR more "yeses" on this list than most other schools in my state.
I work at a public elementary school with about 1,000 students. We have: 2 counselors (used to be 3) Librarian PE teacher Music teacher School Nurse 2 tech teachers/tech coordinators 3 curriculum coordinators/gifted teachers 2 Japanese part time teachers 2 Hawaiian Studies part time teachers My school in Idaho had music, PE, technology....but no counselors, nurse, or any other extra positions.
I work in a private school. Our library teacher and computer teacher are the same person. We have all of the other positions including multiple counselors and nurses. We also have a behavior team who helps if we have behavior difficulties with certain students.

We have them all. School psychologist has shared time in elementary and MS. Full time in HS because it is larger. The health department is in charge of the school clinics. They use trained staff for all nurses offices and RNs that float from school to school.

The office dispenses meds. computer/tech teacher? yes (anything else I'm forgetting?) reading specialist (me) & a math coach who works with the upper elementary/middle math teachers. I don't know how often she actually comes in. Maybe 1 or 2 times a month.
About 900 students, K-8, Public Please comment, I've often thought the PE and reading intervention issues were lawsuits waiting to happen. One PE teacher for grades 6-7-8. There may be one for grades 4-5, only two days a week. In all primary grades, classroom teachers teach PE, if at all. In the past, we have been discouraged from doing so No counselor, but one classified "outreach" specialist on Thursdays School nurse only on Mondays Classified library "aide" 3 hours a day Half time music teacher for grades 4 and 5 only. All other grades get no music. No art teacher. All teachers teach art on their own. No computer Tech teacher. All teachers teach computers on their own. We do have a reading intervention specialist for grades 4-8 only. If primary grade kids need reading or math intervention, the regular classroom teachers do all RTI with no outside support.

Court / community school grades 9-12, 67 students enrolled currently (this changes weekly) We have: - 4 core teachers. We all also teach 2 electives, so 2 teachers teach PE as elective, which ends up being 1 full time PE teacher - 1 self contained sped. teacher with 2 TAs - 2 sped teachers who are not always here, but between the 2 of them they spend 5 days on our campus - 1 principal, no VP (my P is in charge of my school, juvenile hall and a community school 20 minutes away) - 1 counselor and 1 psychologist - several counselors (mostly guidance counselors who only deal with transcripts and services, including family services) -2 full time probation officers - 1 tech guy who's not on campus, but he's pretty readily available whenever I need him - 1-2 custodians who come and clean classrooms and campus every day - 2 front office staff - no nurse - no library nor librarian - no art , no music teacher. If a teacher was art / music credentialed, they could teach art or music as elective, if they wanted to, which would be 2 periods. We also have a junior high school on campus - this is actually 1 self contained classroom with maybe 8 students, 1 teacher and 1 TA. Based on other posts, I can't believe how much we have for such a small school.
Public elementary school 380 children. Do you have a: school counselor? No but we have a psychologist from the district that does the IEP testing. librarian? Part time P.E. teacher? Yes art teacher? Taught in the classroom for the lower grades an art teacher for the upper grades. music teacher? Yes school nurse? Part time for the first time in any of the staff's memories as of this year. computer/tech teacher? Yes (anything else I'm forgetting?)
Public 6-12, about 2,000 students we share a school psychologist with three or four other schoolS. We have no reading specialist. We have one SRO. We are in danger of losing our librarian - the district is considering closing all school libraries . But keep in mind - in FL, all of those teachers you mentioned are elective classes, and electives don't fall under the class-size amendment. They can put 60 kids in one PE class (mandatory for all kids in FL) in order to keep core classes to an average of 22 or 25.
