Committee hears proposal to bring trauma‑informed practitioner to district under MSAP grant
Summary
The committee heard a brief presentation about funding Latoya Robinson through LTR Unlimited to provide trauma‑informed professional learning and direct services under the MSAP grant and to create a capstone experience for Metro education academy students.
The committee received a short presentation about a proposed agreement with LTR Unlimited to bring trauma‑informed practitioner Latoya Robinson into district schools under the district’s MSAP grant.
Staff presentation: A district presenter described LTR Unlimited as a team with trauma‑informed experience and said Latoya Robinson has worked with district students at Fairhaven Clinic, Hillhouse and Sound School and would be brought in for the fourth marking period with a hoped‑for continuation tied to system‑reform and MSAP‑funded academy work.
Scope: The proposed role includes trauma‑informed professional learning for staff, direct student services and consultation with teachers on individual cases and wraparound supports. Staff also noted a new capstone opportunity for students in the Metro education academy as part of the MSAP/academy work.
Committee reaction: Dr. Yarbrough thanked staff for maintaining trauma support despite funding interruptions and for the capstone expansion. The presenter confirmed Robinson’s recent work with students at district partner clinics and schools.
Ending: Committee had no further questions and forwarded the agreement to the board as part of the package sent for board consideration.
