| Morgan | Berkeley Springs (Berkeley Spring HS - 04/03/2019) | Funded - in the school where the students are able to meet. Need in creating better guidelines - "friend" isn't the answer - need adults helping them sort through alternatives and better choices. Students need to be in class. | Training and expectation of teachers is impossible if academics are happening in the classroom. Cant do both with excellence.

| Berkeley | Berkeley Springs (Berkeley Spring HS - 04/03/2019) | Needs to be funded student support personnel - the need is there for professional counselors | This has to be professional trained individuals - not "guidance" personnel that only want be friends - has to be connected to teacher in class involvement as well. never to supersede the learning process to aid the student so they can learn. | Support students emotional needs so they can focus on school work - counselor work with teachers. | Somewhat Disagree | Strongly Agree | Somewhat Agree | Neutral | |
| Hampshire | Berkeley Springs (Berkeley Spring HS - 04/03/2019) | It all sounds good. It provides support, much needed support, for students which helps student and teachers. | $$$ - we have students that blow up, throw chairs, etc. in general ed. classrooms. The classroom teacher is by himself/herself. How is this the best educational environment for all of the other students in that classroom. . They have rights too!! | - To improve student achievement, we need families to value education, - also need options to remove disruptive students from the general ed. classrooms so that the rest of the class, all of the other students can get the education they deserve. Teachers cant teach if they have not supports w/students w/major issues or extreme leaning needs. | Neutral | Somewhat Agree | Somewhat Agree | Strongly Agree | |
| Morgan | Berkeley Springs (Berkeley Spring HS - 04/03/2019) | I appreciated the focus of the family supports without being addressed via an increase in student support personnel. Implementing trauma informed education, PBI and ACES by necessity will engage the family. We can provide an outstanding school environment, however we need to recognize that our students are often going home to war zones. | 1) My primary concert has to do with funding shortfalls. The needs of today's students and families are complex and costly. Properly and or adequately funding an effective number of professionals needed to effectively change outcomes 2) informing teachers (i.e.) trauma informed education, ACES, PBI is important and necessary However I overloading teachers will continue to cause staff turnover. | Strongly Agree | Somewhat Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | ||

| Berkeley | Berkeley Springs (Berkeley Spring HS - 04/03/2019) | We need to stop valuable educational time from being lost due to behavior/ and disruptive students.

| Wyoming | Beckley (Woodrow Wilson HS - 03/21/2019) | I like each aspect of the policy. Our schools need more support personnel in active roles working with students. Training for teachers would be beneficial because we have students in our classrooms who have experienced major trauma. Mental health must be addressed before any aspect of education can occur.

| Kanawha | Charleston (Capital HS - 03/20/2019) | I like the idea of training for teachers. I think that it's very important for educators to know how to deal with the needs of each student. Currently, teachers don't know how to handle special needs and trauma students. With this, they would be better prepared to deal with student's needs. I sit in the classroom everyday and see the same students being punished everyday, and most have family issues and can't get help.

| Charleston (Capital HS - 03/20/2019) | Training for teachers preparing teachers for what students are experiencing is so very beneficial to understanding their learning barriers. Increased student support personnel would provide additional support for the students. I would hope they could also provide some support to parents as well. | Strongly Agree | Somewhat Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | ||||
| Kanawha | Charleston (Capital HS - 03/20/2019) | It is a "need" which needs to be addressed | The funding needed for this will not be there and will not have the support that is needed to see this through | You will need to adjust the grading/grade levels to allow for healing of the social emotional services as that take time which the schools already don't have enough of (time) | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | You need to heal the child to allow the learning |
| Charleston (Capital HS - 03/20/2019) | These are great ideas. Especially counselors/social workers/ectÉ There staff positions should be in every (last word was underlined) school, & state funded. Staff training is better spent spread thru out the year not loaded up at beg, or end of year just to meet a requirement. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | ||||
| Kanawha | Charleston (Capital HS - 03/20/2019) | The Social Emotional Support policy ideas presented were a definite good step in a positive direction. I agree with all of these concepts. | What will the over sight look like to ensure programs are implemented and followed. | - school safety - greater teacher training | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | |
| Kanawha | Charleston (Capital HS - 03/20/2019) | I am a strong proponent of all of them, But I see them as first steps to a much needed re-vamping of how we address the socio-emotional unmet needs of our students. | I don't have concerns with the policy, other than the suggestion of a policeman/woman at every school. Please address the trauma and mental health care needs before students become violent. | A public/private, collaborative address to the kids affected by the drug epidemic. Please break down your silos. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | |
| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Increased student support in schools - needs to be more direct - not just "more." There should be at least one counselor in every (participant underlined previous word) school. Teachers need training in issues that are becoming prevalent so they know steps to follow, what to and what not to say, etc. | ideas were too general - specific ideas and numbers are needed. There also needs to be delineated # based on grade levels | Provide support for the staff as well - training as well as follow-up support when having dealt with a crisis. | Neutral | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | |
| Charleston (Capital HS - 03/20/2019) | Love more counselors & psychologist in schools. We are drowning with the number of students with aggressive behaviors that impact their learning & learning of others. | massive shift in understanding of Trauma Sensitive schools. we have to balance social w/ academic at all levels. | Address the trauma, drugs and violence/neglect! A generational plan to lower the ACES in our communities. Legislators need to connect any subsidies collected for children need to have accountability related to school attendance/tardy. We can have significant impact if student not there or arrive 2 hrs late daily. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | ||
| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | We need at least one full time counselor at every school especially elementary. We need a plan so that social workers/educators/administrators and support staff can decide what to do - create a protocol. We need more support staff - a respite team so that kids have some place therapeutic to go - not just punishment. | Not enough - not enough money, staff, more social workers and psychologists who work together to create a plan for the kids. Right now there isn't a plan. | More staff - therapeutic respite answers. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | |
| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | That it was addressed at all. Thank you! | Lack of percentage attached to school counseling direct contact time. Some administrators will take advantage of vague language to use counselors for (very) non-counseling tasks. | Follow the Am. School of Counseling Assoc. guidelines of 250 students to 1 counselor. Some counselors are 1000+ to 1. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | |
| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Our schools are in great need of counselors and social workers to address the opioid epidemic and children living in trauma/poverty. | The need is only growing, but I am concerned that we would lose teachers we desperately need. This needs to be funded separately. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | ||
| Mason | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Yes, Yes, the students need additional help. They are dealing with issues we cannot (participant underline previous word) comprehend!! Provide the funding through the State (participant underlined previous word). The counties shouldn't have to choose between counselors and teachers. | That the funding for these professionals will become the responsibility of the county. That professional will count toward the number of professionals the counties are allocated to have, so the choice for the county becomes teacher or counselor. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | ||
| Mason | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Extra funding for counselors and social workers to provide support for students that have emotional and behavioral problems. They can provide support for the teacher, the student and the family. | We need additional funding for students with social and emotional problems. | More training for teachers and service personnel on how to work with students with social, emotional and behavioral issues. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | |

Grandparent education on how to work with school system. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | |
| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | I like allowing flexibility to counties to employ the type of professional personnel that meets the needs of the students in that school. this coupled with the training of teachers would allow to better meet the "whole child." | I am concerned that even if we provide funds for Support Programs that the power that be will continue to have rules and regs, reports, etc. to hinder the effectiveness we might otherwise obtain. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | ||
| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Communities in schools - fantastic idea. Student support. Increased student support. | All of the topics are good ideas and thoughts but mean nothing without the funding to back them. My current school counselor serves 4 schools. she is at my school 1 day a week if she is not pulled to other schools or trainings. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | ||
| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Increased support is the (participant underlined previous word) most critical need. How can you tell an 8-year-old in distress to wait until tomorrow. And their distress affects the whole class. A full time counselor in every (participant underlined previous word) school, that school, is critical !!! | The training for teaching is (?) in theory. I find it will only be used to expect them to fulfill the role of other support staff. They need to be teaching. | The achievement of all (the participant underlined the previous word) students suffers when there is emotional trauma in the classroom. Schools need to be able to hire staff to provide support at any individual school level. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Somewhat Agree | |
| Mason | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | More wrap around services - counselors, social workers. Communities in schools - great. Training for teachers - great but...... | So wrap around services do not become bogged down w/"administrative duties" Communities in schools - Funding. Training for teachers can "bog down" teachers and take away from teaching responsibilities. | Support Services - Social workers - is degree standard necessary for the jobs? Can that be obtained once in a job? That would help with finding people to fill spots. Smaller class sizes. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | |
| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Flexibility in employing support staff - Every school is different and has different needs. A school should not be limited and have to decide what they need more. WE NEED FULL TME COUNSELORS, NURSES and psychologists. | The social-emotional needs developed by the opioid epidemic are not being addressed in a practical manner. | Behavioral Specialists (participant underlined previous two words) to come in work hand in hand with teachers and admin to develop behavior plans, help implement and review. Work with parents as well. Help grandparents with raising their kids. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | |
| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | I'm concerned there isn't enough support allowed for, in the form of dedicated counselors to a single school, dedicated social workers to schools with higher poverty rates. | Instead of charter schools, take 4 of the lowest performing elementary schools in the state and staff them well (participant underlined previous word). (?) nurse, social worker, counselors and decrease class sizes and let the results talk for themselves. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | ||
| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Redesigning schools to better accommodate the needs of our students is paramount. flexibility to counties to employ professional student support is crucial. We need additional funding and support. | None. | Teachers need professional development to better identify and meet the needs of the students they serve. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | |
| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | I was glad to see that at least the need is finally being acknowledged. In this state burdened with poverty issues and or a great drug addiction problem, we definitely need more social emotional support for our children living with these issues. | Wording - it is all in the wording. Just to say "We will improve the support" is too vague - could be only by three counselors. | Every school needs a minimum of one counselor on site everyday. Children in elementary school don't always have their crisis on Monday's. | Strongly Agree | Somewhat Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | |
| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Love the idea of adding more social services.

| Kanawha | Charleston (Capital HS - 03/20/2019) | I like that more emphasis is being place on community aspects of schools.

| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Communities in school - only (participant underlined previous word) if funded. We already do a lot of this and none of us are trained for it. We need dedicated staff for this so teachers and admins can serve their primary function - teaching children. Support-sure but we need all (participant underlined previous word) of the in my school. | Training for teachers. Some around management and deferral yes, but they need to teach. We need dedicated personnel to handle these needs. | Come see Explorer Academy. We address SEL through a curriculum and crew structures. | Somewhat Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Somewhat Disagree | 1. Only if funded and we get staff to do it. 4. No to PBIS. We use restorative justice and responsive classroom models. |
| Putnam | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Student support personnel - school psychologists. More! More! More! More! | Every school needs a dedicated school counselor. Each county needs a psychologist that can meet with students - Not everyone has the ability to seek professional help outside the school environment. Behavioral specialists are needed at the professional level. DHHR at the schools. | Students need to be at school EVERYDAY. More personnel for social emotional - students can't truly learn until these things are addressed. Trauma informed care. Afterschool program / Afterschool Programs - Services need to be brought tot he school. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | |
| Kanawha | Charleston (Capital HS - 03/20/2019) | I like that they want to add more student support personnel to the schools. This is definitely something that is vital for successful education. | * Hold parents accountable * Offer more training to teachers and parents | Teachers have been trained to recognize certain behaviors caused by the student going through a traumatic experience, but how do we take the correct approach to help those students/ | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | |
| Kanawha | Charleston (Capital HS - 03/20/2019) | Increasing support personnel in all schools this is a great need. I believe that if social emotional supports are provided first and foremost, all other problems in our education system will fall into place. | I'm concerned that these needs are not being met now and our need is increasing dramatically with the opioid crisis and trauma that kids are living with. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | ||
| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Need more student support personnel! Classes are disrupted and learning is hampered by students w/ emotional/mental issues. School based counselors that are full-time (participant underlined previous word) - so students can be helped when (participant underlined previous word) the student needs them - not 3 days later on rotation. Counselors that are available for when teachers need them - so teachers can teach. | Teacher support - counseling for them. Direct student support at county level (intervention by specialists) | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | ||
| Lincoln | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Lincoln County has a high incidence of trauma - exposed children, poverty and disability who have multiple needs. These needs must be met in order for learning to occur. This includes child nutrition, physical needs, medical/health related, emotional/behavioral. Teachers cannot be expected to attend all of these and then focus on academic programming for increased achievement. More! More! More! help please. Increased student support personnel. | Somewhat Agree | Strongly Agree | Somewhat Agree | 1. Don't fully comprehend. | |||
| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Spend money on getting all children to come to school each day.

| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Real training for teachers that meets the needs for trauma, drug epidemic, etc. More support - but from people who know the kids and are full time in the building. | I'm afraid the effort to save money might not bring in real help. | Emotional support people need to be people who are in the school everyday (participant underlined previous word). Bringing in strangers the students don't know and who don't know the students is not helpful. We already have Prestera and that isn't helpful. Parents are reluctant to give permission. | Somewhat Disagree | 1 - More counselors, not social workers. | |||
| Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Flexibility. More attention to student emotional, physical needs. More counselors in every school. Need social/emotional supports are a great need for all students. Increased funding for support personnel - every school should have their own nurse.

| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | All of these ideas are crucial to a student's well-being and ability to learn. Without a support structure at home, the school needs to supply these structures. | At this time, no concerns. Be prudent (participant underline the previous word) in your decisions. | Smaller class sizes to have ability to meet more one-on-one with students. Make standards developmentally appropriate for the child's age and development. Remove regulations that stymie the classroom teachers. Allow them the freedom to teach as charter schools do. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | |
| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Teachers need training on how to work w/students in trauma. | Teachers can't be social workers and counselors but they do need to be trained on how to best teach students in trauma. | Every elem school needs social worker, nurse, counselor. Larger elem schools and secondary schools may need to do this on ratio. | Somewhat Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Somewhat Agree | This session was taken off-topic by a home-school rep in the group. |
| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Increase counselor and nurses. | I want to be sure they are employed by the county. They need to invested in the students and students need to know them. (?) in schools will not help. | Do not out source the mental health professionals.

| Wayne | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Any additional social or emotional support will be of great benefit to students.

| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Our students at such young ages have seen more than most adults. We need to give them the support that they need to overcome the obstacles they have already faced. Spending more time with our students than family we see the daily struggles these children face. | We need a support system and need to educate the students that need support to function as adults. | Nurses needed at every school for so many reasons (medical, testing, loss of instruction time). | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Somewhat Agree | Strongly Agree | |
| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | This policy gives students the opportunity to have their needs met. Counselors and teachers are carrying too much of a work load making the needs of students to not be met. As children in schools reach an older age, they find it harder to find a teacher or counselor to talk to. Unlike elementary, they are not with the same teacher all the time. | Make students more aware of where they can go. | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Agree | ||
| Cabell | Ona (Cabell Midland HS - 03/18/2019) | Our students desperately need additional services and support. There are more medical needs of our students (ie - diabetics, seizures).
