NashobaRegionalHigh School

There are two changes in store for Nashoba Regional High School for the 2023-2024 school year. As explained in the Florence Sawyer budget, a guidance counselor position will be shifted from Nashoba Regional High School to ensure we meet staffing standards for guidance positions. This change will be that our guidance counselors will have average caseloads of 160-170 students which is well below the recommended ratio of 250 to 1 In addition, the Dean of Students position that has been supported by COVID relief funds through the ESSER III budget, will become permanent The Dean of Students role has been critical in managing the daily life of students in the school environment as it has become a key piece in our proactive strategy to support students who may be struggling. These moves are budget neutral and are supported by the strategic plan as well as the targeted review.
