Austin ISD Thanks School Social Workers and Parent Support Specialists

This week, Austin ISD honors school social workers and parent support specialists. Day in and day out, these employees do important work in serving our students, families and school communities.

A school social worker’s responsibilities are diverse and far-reaching, and the impact on our students is immeasurable. On any given day, a school social worker might coordinate resources for a homeless student, counsel a teen or work with a teacher to address a student’s individual needs.
