Plano ISD School Social Workers
Plano ISD School Social Workers are committed to empowering and supporting students, families, schools and communities by identifying factors and barriers to learning that affect student and family functioning, so that all students can realize their full potential and personal value.
As Social Workers:
- We believe all people should be treated in a way that respects and values their individuality, dignity, and self-worth.
- We support overcoming institutional barriers for the equitable treatment of all individuals.
