• Pupil Services and Attendance (PSA) Counselor Application Process

  • Pupil Services & Attendance Counselors (PSA) are child welfare and attendance advocates who utilize a three-tiered model (prevention, early intervention, and intensive intervention) to improve individual and system-wide student attendance, engagement, achievement, and graduation.

    Pupil Services & Attendance Counselors (PSA) are child welfare and attendance advocates who work directly with students who experience difficulties in achieving their academic potential due to social/emotional, home and community barriers. PSA Counselors support students' academic, social-emotional, and career development by improving student attendance.

    Our mission is to ensure that all LAUSD students are enrolled, attending, engaged, & on track to graduate.
