Board approves field-residency MOU to allow student teachers in district
Summary
The board approved a field-residency memorandum of understanding to permit students from 'Davis outs College' to do student teaching in Tucker County Schools; the MOU carries no financial obligation for the district, according to the transcript.
The Tucker County Board approved a field-residency memorandum of understanding intended to allow students from a local college (transcribed in the meeting record as "Davis outs College") to complete student teaching placements in district schools. The Chair said the MOU has no financial obligation for the district and will restore a relationship the district had not maintained recently.
A board member noted the MOU is administrative and allows students to request student-teaching placements in the district. "It just permits us to ... they have several students going into education that are from the county that have requested to do their student teaching with us and so this just gives them the opportunity to do that," the presenter said. The board moved and approved the MOU by voice vote. The transcript spelling of the college name is unclear; reporters should confirm the partner institution’s exact legal name in the final documents.
