Superintendent says Sparrow will partner on school health clinic; district plans professional learning Fridays
Summary
Superintendent Leo told the East Lansing Board of Education the district has secured Sparrow as a partner for a school-based health clinic (target: late July 2025) and outlined professional learning days and a planned presentation on a new central administration building.
Superintendent Leo told the Board on Oct. 28 that the district is "in initial stages of planning" a school-based health clinic and has secured Sparrow as a partner, with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and Eaton RESA listed as additional partners for the initiative. She said the district is tentatively aiming for the clinic to open in late July 2025, a timing intended to serve families preparing for fall athletics physicals.
Leo also reviewed staff professional learning days: students will be off Friday, Nov. 1 for the second of five planned professional-learning Fridays. The superintendent described a conference-style morning of sessions for staff (19 sessions were offered Oct. 11), covering topics that included student mental health and wellness, targeted math instruction, training on the district's special-education platform (mipsy), restorative practices and equity tools. Afternoon sessions are reserved for site-based improvement work such as PBIS and family engagement.
On facilities, Leo said planning is underway for a new central administration building with a secure entrance and additional cafeteria space at the high school; she said full renderings and a presentation will be shared at the Nov. 11 board meeting.
The superintendent announced an advisory-committee meeting for the health clinic planned for Nov. 20 at the high school hub and encouraged community participation. She described the clinic model as similar to one used in Grand Ledge and indicated the district will continue to work with partners on staffing, project management and grant oversight.
