I was not speaking of social work licensure.

Most districts do not employ enough school-based (regular ed) social workers to warrant a full time supervisor. Remember that guidance counselors must be former teachers and the NJASSW has worked hard to prevent former teachers without an MSW from becoming certified school social workers. Also, most school social workers receive some sort of supervision from Principals as well and they are rarely MSWs. To answer your initial question, I do not think that school counselors are permitted to supervise social workers but a Director of Counseling, within the context of a school, should be permitted to do so. Without proper credentials, even the Director of Counseling can not provide clinical supervision required for licensure.
