Board packet includes student‑teaching affiliation agreements with three universities
Summary
Wayzata Public Schools reviewed affiliation/ MOU agreements to support student teaching and internships with the College of St. Scholastica, University of Maryland Global Campus, and University of Mary for 2024–26 placements and clinical experiences.
The board reviewed three separate affiliation or memorandum agreements intended to support student teaching, internship placements and clinical experiences: the College of St. Scholastica (placements for 2024–2026 with stipends for cooperating teachers), University of Maryland Global Campus (a two‑year MOU for MAT internships and mentor teacher arrangements), and an affiliation agreement with the University of Mary for clinical and health science placements.
Packets specify mutual responsibilities including background checks for student teachers, district authority over placements and provisions for insurance or indemnity clauses. The St. Scholastica agreement specifies stipends for cooperating teachers ($75 for field experience placements, $225 for student teaching placements); the UMGC MOU clarifies internship terms, FERPA limitations for student records and insurance thresholds; the University of Mary agreement covers a range of health programs that may be placed in district settings.
Administration recommended approving the 2024–25 university agreements to support teacher candidate and clinical placements as outlined in the packet.
