School Counselors

Dear Colleagues,

As your chapter leader, I would like to welcome you to the School Counselors Chapter, formerly known as the Guidance Counselors Chapter. This site was designed to keep members informed on events planned for the chapter as well as our accomplishments. By continually updating the resources on our chapter website, I hope to make sure it is useful to you both personally and professionally.

Please review the 2023 DOE-UFT contract so that you are familiar with your rights as a union-represented employee. Additionally, please review this list of student services managers for the 2025-26 school year. Multiple superintendents may have the same student services manager. Please reach out to them should you ever need guidance. Finally, you can also review our contract per session rate for counselors. 

I look forward to collaborating with you and continuing our communication. If you need assistance from the union, you can reach the call center at 212-331-6312. I am available to answer your questions either by phone on Mondays or Wednesdays at 212-598-7773 or by email at rthompson [at] uft [dot] org (rthompson[at]uft[dot]org).
