After a student experiences a house fire, the next best step for a school counselor is to refer the family to:

  1. The school social worker

  2. A community drive

  3. Teachers for academic support

  4. The school crisis team

The correct answer is: The school social worker

In this scenario, after experiencing a house fire, the most appropriate next step for a school counselor would be to refer the family to the school social worker. A school social worker is trained to provide support and resources for families during difficult situations, such as a house fire. Options B and C may not provide the specific and targeted support that a social worker would be able to offer. While option D may also provide support, it may not be as personalized and tailored to the family's needs as the social worker's services would be.
