<p>Hello, my student is in a Texas Plano school, and she is told she has to take 7 credits (full load) to stay in school. She has already taken 22 credits which are only two 5 credits short of the state graduation requirement, and she is in her junior year. I am wondering does she really have to take the full load or can she opt to take 5-6 classes instead of 7? she is really stressed out and the school counselor has basically refused to offer any help 
Also, is there any school psychiatrist she can speak to? thanks!</p>
<p>Our district requires juniors to maintain 7 credits. Only seniors can carry a lighter load. </p>
<p>She may need help managing the stress in her life beyond what the district offers. Public school resources for this are quite limited. Does her health insurance coverage include care for mental health issues?</p>
