A bill, sponsored by Peoria Senator Dave Koehler , to protect school social workers, counselors and psychologists was approved by the Illinois House Education Committee Wednesday and put on the calendar for a second reading. The bill has already passed the Illinois Senate. The bill prohibits schools from punishing or discriminating against social workers and others who refuse to share privileged or confidential student information. Koehler says those workers should never be forced to choose between their professional ethics and their jobs.
