Special education update: eight psychology interns applied; district coordinating with MAISD on behavior supports
Summary
Special education officials reported eight psych interns applied for next year and said the district is collaborating with the Muskegon Area Intermediate School District on behavior needs while refining operational systems (toileting expectations, take-home procedures) to smooth next school year startup.
Jamie Venema, listed on the agenda under Special Education, told the board at the Feb. 3 workshop that eight psychology interns have applied to join the district next year and that staff are coordinating with the Muskegon Area Intermediate School District (MAISD) to address behavior needs.
Venema said district teams are working through systems-level issues, including toileting expectations and take-home information, to create a smoother start to the next school year. The presentation was framed as operational planning; no hiring decisions or formal board actions were recorded during the workshop.
The update signals staffing pipeline activity and interagency coordination intended to support students with specialized needs. Board members may ask for additional details or staffing plans at a subsequent meeting.
