The Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE) surveys its members yearly. They include teachers, principals and other school staff across the state.

In 2022, PAGE found more than 69% of school counselors, social workers and psychologists, and about 56% of teachers, say their schools don’t have enough counselors to meet students’ needs.

Just 31% of teachers say their workload is manageable all or most of the time. Twenty-five percent say it’s never manageable.
