001um disorders in that program. This program has expanded so much in the past year that we are so proud. Um Miss Mendy's, as the board knows, we transferred Miss Mendy's. She wanted to be a part of the high school transition program. She's pictured in the in the picture. She's sometimes hard to find, but she is in there with the students. um she has really expanded the 18 to 21 year old program and built on experiences for students and trying to make sure that they are a part of running things and getting that structured learning experience. So what Mr. Novak was talking about what is a structured learning experience? It's basically setting up learning opportunities for students to prepare them for life after high school and and for that transition piece. So I'm we're really proud
002today Mr. Dr. Mendy's actually shared that today at the Dear to Dream conference, one of our students was recognized um Gregory Grall as a 2018 exceptional employee award and I believe it was the only award given out in Pose County and and Miss Mendy's did um submit that student for that award. So, we're definitely expanding our programs and we're really really proud and I have to we both would say it it really is Miss Mendy's commitment and work. >> Yeah. So this just talks about something that the board's been supporting this year and will continue to support next year. Mr. Novak is supporting this as well. We are sending teachers to Orton Gillingham training so that we can further our resource tener teachers in multi-ensory reading. Um so we were fortunate where we partnered with
003Ringwood and we were able to send a larger amount of teachers just because of the cost they were willing to partner with us. I think we talked about that also in the ed committee meetings. So we will continue to train the rest of our teachers in 2018-19. Then all the resource center teachers and our special education teachers will be will be fully trained. Then our goal, Mr. Novak and I, is to continue on that and then have our K12 teachers also become trained and our reading specialists. So future planning is just to consider continuing our long-term growth and sustainability of the programs we started. We have to want to continue to provide the IEP mandated services. So, we're giving students what their IEP teams feel they need. And lastly, we do believe, Mr. Mendes and
004I, that we are going to, you know, we are fiscally responsible and we plan to continue to do that regarding the entire special services budget. So, if we can, you know, bring students back and it's the right decision for the student, we are going to continue to do that and continue to build our indist programs. So, I love this quote. Alone we can do so little, together we could do so much. from Helen Keller. But I do want to thank the board for your support because we would not be able to present on all of these things if it wasn't for the support that we that we get um from you. And that's it. Yeah. Thank you. Refreshing to hear someone else besides dance. Did I say that out loud? I just >> said the
