The West Central School Board approved a request during their March meeting for Four Star Counseling Center to provide a client meeting space for their case workers at the West Central Elementary School. Superintendent Charles Mellon reassured the board that the counseling service is just for West Central students and their parents or guardians.
“I think some people interpret it like we’d have a psychiatrist here and have different people walking in the door that we didn’t know and that’s not the case,” stated Mellon.
Elementary Principal Dan Zylstra will be sending a letter home to parents and guardians to clarify the services and encourage those students and guardians who would benefit to utilize the service.
