Board approves partnerships with Youngstown State, Kent State and SLP services to support students
Summary
The board authorized agreements with Youngstown State (student teachers), Kent State (College Credit Plus) and outside SLP providers and vendors to fill service gaps for students, including outsourcing speech-language-pathology services.
Administration recommended and the board approved agreements with external partners to support instructional and student-services needs.
The board voted to enter agreements with Youngstown State to place student teachers, with Kent State for College Credit Plus courses offered on-site, and with outside vendors to provide speech-language-pathology (SLP) services after the district struggled to recruit an in-house SLP. "You might remember we've been looking for an SLP almost all year unsuccessfully, so we need to, outsource this so that we can meet the needs or the minutes of our kids," an administrator said when describing the SLP contract.
