The Jordan School District School Counselor Consultant selects the representatives for the Counselor Collaborative Committee meeting. This committee differs from the Steering Committee in that it includes counselor representatives from various schools within the district at every level, including Elementary Counselors. This group focuses on meeting the program and training needs for JSDs K-12 school counseling model. Counselors are selected, and the school Principal will receive an invitation at the beginning of each school year. Committee members may be assigned to lead additional work groups.
