The board heard of a one-year agreement between Westshore Career Technical Education District and the Winking Lizard that will provide community-based career-technical training for up to eight Westshore students, with on-site supervision by a teacher and aide and transportation reimbursement; students will not be paid for the experience.
District staff reported a one-year agreement between the Westshore Career Technical Education District and the Winking Lizard to provide community-based career technical education experiences for up to eight Westshore students.
The presenter said the program will provide ‘‘training in real world environment’’ designed to develop functional daily living skills, appropriate social behavior and communication skills. The transcript states students ‘‘are not paid for this work experience.’’ A Westshore teacher and an aide will be assigned to provide direct on-site supervision and will work cooperatively with Winking Lizard personnel to instruct students in related job fundamentals. The agreement also includes a transportation reimbursement for parental transportation in accordance with state transportation guidelines.
The segment described the agreement as a one-year arrangement providing work-based training for up to eight students; the transcript did not specify the dollar amount of the transportation reimbursement or other financial terms.
