Sec. 36.72  Elementary level dormitories.

    (a) Each dormitory program shall provide or have access to the 
services of a qualified counselor who holds a valid counselor 
certificate and has training and experience in dealing with elementary 
students.
    (b) Counselors may be assigned minimal or temporary school 
supervisory duties. A school supervisor shall not serve in the capacity 
of counselor while holding the position of school supervisor.
    (c) The dormitory program shall have the following ratios (ADM) for 
counselors:

Less than 75 students: \1/2\ time counselor

[[Page 153]]

75-150 students: 1 full-time counselor
151-225 students: 1 full-time and \1/2\ time counselor
226-300 students: 2 full-time counselors


For dormitories that exceed 300 students (ADM), additional counselor 
time shall be provided according to the above ratio. Dormitories within 
an Agency are encouraged to try a variety of approaches to guidance 
service. In this arrangement, the counselor's time may be shared between 
dormitories. As long as one half-time, professionally-trained counselor 
is provided, the dormitory program may use supportive personnel and 
teachers to meet the ratio.
    (d) Dormitory counselors' work hours shall be arranged to provide 
maximum availability of services to students when they are not in 
academic session.
