Board approves residency agreement with Glenville State and mobility MOU for 2026–27
Summary
The board approved an agreement with Glenville State University to support student teaching/residency placements and a memorandum of understanding with Megan Hoover for orientation-and-mobility services for provisionally impaired students for the 2026–27 school year.
The board voted to approve two contracts: a residency/student-teaching agreement with Glenville State University and an MOU with Megan Hoover to provide orientation-and-mobility services for provisionally impaired students.
When a committee member asked for detail, the clerk explained the Glenville program provides student-teaching/residency placements and additional mentor time for student teachers; the clerk said the arrangement can help fill long-term vacancies. A board member asked about the Hoover MOU and was told, “Megan Hoover, orientation and mobility, that would be services through special education… she comes in and helps [provisionally] impaired students get around their environment.” The Superintendent recommended approving the contracts, a motion was made and seconded, and both items were approved by voice vote.
The record indicates the residency program may include payment to the college and additional mentor time for placements; the board did not discuss contract dollar amounts at the meeting.
