<div dir="ltr">I moved my office away from the administration office at the beginning of this school year and thought it allowed for a lot more privacy for my students. But since I cover administrative duties in the absence of the principal the administration wanted me back in their office so I have moved back and does not allow for privacy for my students. At my age group most of them aren't concerned so I still have students come to me. If I were given the choice I would move out of the administration office.<div><br></div><div>Kay Gilchrist</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 6, 2015 at 9:49 AM, OSRHE EPAS PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:counselors@lists.onenet.net" target="_blank">counselors@lists.onenet.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I think it is best to be away from the Administration offices.

I am currently located in the Administration office. (Principal, Assistant Principal, and 2 secretaries) I am the only Counselor at our high school. I have the option to move my office away from the Admin Office toward the classroom hallways, my door would lead directly into the hallways. Right now students can only access my office through the administration office. I have thought about this all year but I have many pros and cons and can't decide if it would be beneficial or not. I would like to hear some of the pros and cons of being in the Administration Office compared to not being in the Office. The counselors office used to be in the hallway office many years ago. I don't know why it was moved into the Admin Office.
