Clinton Elem staff says sensory-hallway grants awarded; school plans corridor-based resource
Summary
School staff described $2,000 grants to elementary and middle schools plus a separate merit project award that could support a sensory hallway leading to the extended resource room; staff said counselors and named staff will guide implementation.
A staff member identified in the meeting as Kat said the school received $2,000 grants for both the elementary and middle school from what she described as the Missoula Electric Co op "Bridal Future Fund" and that a merit project award is available that could supply $5,000 for a sensory hallway.
Kat said the hallway would be located along the corridor that leads to the extended resource room and could extend into that room. She said the space would provide calming supports for students with sensory needs, particularly autistic students and those with trauma histories, and that staff members Amber and Kaylee have been involved in planning and supplies. Kat also said Kaylee prepared a strong application that described the student population and included supporting research.
Board members asked clarifying questions about where items would be placed and who would be involved; Kat said counselors and Tim would also play a role in implementation. The transcript records the awards and planning discussion but does not include a full written plan, a project timeline, or procurement details.
