Board member cites MOU with sheriff to expand nursing students' clinical experiences
Summary
A board member said an MOU with the county sheriff's office will allow some nursing students to complete clinical time with the sheriff's office; board members described the partnership as a positive step.
A DeSoto County School Board member told the board on Sept. 23 that a memorandum of understanding with the county sheriff's office will allow some district nursing students to gain practical experience with the sheriff's department.
Board member Miss Shuna (speaker identified in the meeting as 'Miss Shuna') highlighted the MOU during board member discussion, calling it "a wonderful partnership" and expressing excitement that nursing students will be able to do clinical time with the sheriff's office.
Why it matters: The MOU creates an opportunity for career‑technical education students to observe and learn in a public‑safety environment, which board members framed as beneficial to student workforce readiness.
Details and next steps: The transcript records the board member's announcement and support but does not include further details on the MOU's terms, the number of students affected, or a start date. The transcript does not show a separate formal vote approving the MOU during the Sept. 23 meeting.
Ending: The district said it is pursuing partnerships to expand hands‑on experiences for students; the board member singled out the sheriff's MOU as one example.
