St. Paul Public Schools said Wednesday that additional emotional support staff would be made available, if necessary, to students upset by the surprise election of Donald Trump.
If needed, lead counselors and social workers and those in temporary administrative roles would be sent to work in schools.
“If there are schools that seem to be over capacity (in terms of the support they can offer), we will look to deploy support staff from the district who can provide additional support,” Stewart Downey said.
...Stewart Downey noted that the capacity to respond to upsetting events is greater in the district this school year.
The district added 20 counselors, six social workers and five school psychologists as a result of teacher contract negotiations...
Thx to all the staff @SPPS_News for working w kids on this day after the election. They barely woke up before heading towards school.
