A comprehensive school counseling plan is created by a team of school counselors within a school or a district-wide counseling team, but can be done by a single counselor if there is only one counselor in the school.

Documentation that the program has followed the MA Model 3.0 and used data to make informed decisions for all students
Evidence that the program has actively communicated and promoted their initiatives by delivering presentations, and/or involving community members
