NTDSC staff recognized; district highlights community-based instruction and job-fair recruitment
Summary
NTDSC reported staff awards, community-based instruction examples and recruitment activity: multiple staff were recognized (Guardian of Hope, Golden Apple finalist), and the program noted reductions in restraint use after adopting trauma-informed protocols.
A liaison reported on North Township District for Special Education (NTDSC) activities, including staff recognitions, community-based instruction practices, and recruitment efforts. The liaison highlighted awards for staff members and described examples of community-based instruction such as shopping, library visits and cooking classes that help students build life skills.
The liaison said NTDSC has seen a reduction in physical restraints after adopting trauma-informed, restraint-free protocols and reported that recruitment efforts — including job fairs with many employer tables — are producing results. He noted that transportation continuity was maintained despite a bus company acquisition. The board acknowledged the achievements and was invited to a retirement celebration for long-serving staff.
