The current challenges faced by schools such as low socio-economic neighborhoods, gang violence, drugs, sexual abuse, divorce, etc. have made it crucial for schools to retain qualified school counselors and allow school counselors adequate time to be available to provide counseling to students. However, the current trend of assigning non-counseling assignments might interfere with school counselors’ availability to provide counseling to students (Rayle, 2006). Since there is no baseline data available indicating the portions of time school counselors spend on counseling and non-counseling assignments, this descriptive study began to fill a gap in the knowledge base regarding how much time North Carolina school counselors spent on both non-counseling and counseling duties and their perceptions of the stress, job dissatisfaction, and interference with counseling as a result of non-counseling duties. A Likert-like survey was advertised in the North Carolina Student Services Newsletter and made accessible to school counselors across North Carolina. One hundred and twenty school counselors responded to the survey. Because of the day to day changes in school counseling and non-counseling assignments, only 45 (38%) of the 120 participants responded with precise portions of time for non-counseling assignments (M = 58.5% of the previous year). Similarly only 57 (48%) participants responded with precise portions of time for counseling assignments (M = 37.5% of the previous year). However, the study found that 89% (n = 105) of respondents reported job stress as a result of performing non-counseling duties and 81% (n = 95) reported job dissatisfaction as a result of performing non-counseling duties. Interference with the ability to provide counseling as a result of performing non-counseling duties was reported by 87% (n = 102) of respondents. The study's findings imply that school counselors are stressed, experience job dissatisfaction, and experience interference with the ability to provide counseling services to students due to non-counseling duties. The largest most troubling non-counseling duty for school counselors in North Carolina was state testing assignments which was reported by 69% (n = 81) of the participants. The second most troubling issue was performing non-counseling related clerical tasks which was reported by 64% (n = 75) of the participants. Therefore, a recommendation for school administrators is to consider reassigning non-counseling duties to the appropriate school support staff in order to free up more time for student counseling.
