Hempfield board approves K–12 guidance plan and college placement agreements
Loading...
Summary
The board approved the HASD K–12 Guidance (339) Plan, a pre-teaching agreement with Westminster College's Field Experience Program for May 2026, and a placement for a student at Saint Vincent College's Bearcat Best Extended Year Program, all by unanimous vote.
The Hempfield Area School District board unanimously approved several education items March 30, including the district’s K–12 Guidance (339) Plan, a pre-teaching agreement with Westminster College's Field Experience Program for May 2026, and approval to place a student in the Bearcat Best Extended Year Program at Saint Vincent College.
Education Chair Jennifer Bretz moved to approve the guidance plan and the two agreements; the motion was seconded by Jennifer Stape and carried 8–0.
Why it matters: The K–12 Guidance (339) Plan sets the district’s guidance framework and supports counseling services across grade levels. The pre-teaching agreement formalizes college field-experience placements for teacher candidates, and the placement at Saint Vincent College supports an individual student’s extended-year programming.
The agenda and public minutes record the approvals but do not include the full guidance-plan text or the placement and field-experience agreement language in the meeting minutes; implementation and monitoring will be managed by district administration and relevant school staff.
