Board approves Special Olympics Unified Champion Schools partnership
Summary
The Board approved a Special Olympics Ohio Unified Champion Schools Partnership agreement that includes Year 1 program supports and funding lines (up to $3,400 for uniforms/equipment at middle/high school) to expand inclusive sports and leadership programs in BBH schools.
The board unanimously approved a partnership with Special Olympics Ohio to participate in the Unified Champion Schools (UCS) program, which provides staff training, student leadership development and limited program funding. The Year 1 benefits listed in the agreement include staff support and training, help with fundraising and competition organization, and program funding caps (for example, up to $3,400 for uniforms/equipment at the middle and high school levels).
Board members praised the program's potential for inclusion. Ms. Galek noted the programs positive impact; the board voted 4-0 to accept the partnership and the accompanying agreement template, which requires schools to register in the UCS portal and maintain program records to receive funding.
