The rights of ALL students in a district to have access to school social work services have been emphasized by which entity?

• A. The Illinois State Board of Education
• B. The National Association of Social Workers
• C. The American Psychological Association
• D. The National Education Association

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is who is responsible for guaranteeing that every student in a district can access school social work services. State education authorities set the rules that districts must follow, including ensuring access to supportive services for all students. The Illinois State Board of Education is the state-level body that creates these policies, standards, and accountability measures, so they are the ones emphasizing that every student has a right to receive school social work services within the district. While national associations and unions advocate for professionals or educators, they do not establish or enforce district-wide rights for students in the same way state boards do.
