The Oneida Special School District Board of Education approved a partnership agreement with the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching (NIET) during the board’s regular meeting. The agreement was included in the board packet and passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.
Board members said the district has benefited from the NIET partnership, which they credited with improving instructional quality and teacher development. The board’s packet contained the proposed agreement; the motion to approve came with no recorded amendments.
