Council Member Justin Brannan briefly questions teacher Carina Layfield about the number of students and guidance counselors at her school. This exchange highlights the high student-to-counselor ratio, which is a concern raised in the preceding testimony.
- The school has almost 1,700 students
- There are only six guidance counselors at the school
- This implies a ratio of about 283 students per counselor
