Board committee accepts $20,000 special‑educator pipeline grant to fund dual‑enrollment and stipends
Summary
The committee recommended acceptance of a $20,000 Future Special Educator Pipeline Grant from PATTAN to cover dual‑enrollment fees and stipends for host teachers; the motion passed 6‑0.
The Schuylkill Valley Committee of the Whole voted June 24 to accept a $20,000 Future Special Educator Pipeline Grant from the Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network (PATTAN).
The grant pays dual‑enrollment fees for high‑school students pursuing special‑education teaching careers and provides stipends for host teachers who supervise student interns, staff said. The committee recorded a voice vote of 6‑0 in favor of accepting the grant.
A board member moved and the committee seconded the motion; staff described the grant as part of statewide efforts to increase interest in special‑education careers and said the funding is intended to reduce cost barriers for students considering the field.
