Summary
The alternative-learning report said the Panther Learning Center and eAcademy served 191 students this year; 94 attended in-person and 60 met graduation requirements. Officials highlighted partnerships with WSU Tech, a CNA pathway, MHIT mental-health services and McKinney-Vento supports.
Katie Toole, director of teaching and learning, and Mandy Rohrer, interim director of alternative learning, reported on the district’s alternative-learning programs, including the Panther Learning Center (opened January 2021), the eAcademy virtual program and partnerships with WSU Tech and local clinical sites. Officials said the department served 191 students districtwide; 94 attended the in-person Panther Learning Center and 60 of those completed graduation requirements this year.
Rohrer recounted program impact, including occupational coursework (phlebotomy, CNA) with clinical partnerships and the MHIT mental-health intervention team that serves students on-site. She summarized outcomes with a parent quote relayed in the meeting: “I have had parents tell me, you have saved my child’s life,” Rohrer said, describing how individualized support, career exposure and local partnerships helped students graduate and move into employment or further education.
