then on April 21st this week the 917 board held a teleconference work session eric Van Brocklin the administrator of the secondary's program gave an overview of the planning for the 2020 2021 plans his programs and locations vary slightly each year and their enrollments some years they're up some years they're down but Melissa Schuyler the administrator of the special education programs gave an insightful overview of the planning for the 2020 2021 school year for programs have grown substantially in the past few years son students with unique needs the T program therapeutic education alternatives the T is the SCE which is the therapeutic education alternative early childhood special education program and Tessa the transition education service alternative program she is working

website which is ist 917 dot k12 dot and dot us the reason I gave the names of those programs you hear the the letters as much as I have worked with those programs or know of those programs I could never remember the names of those programs so I apologize for giving all of that information but I can never remember them and it's helpful to know what those programs are I think education uses a lot of acronyms and we don't always explain that for the public but that was 917 planning their planning for the 2021 school year and that concludes my report thank you very much board members any other reports okay seeing none we will move to the consent agenda although board action is required this generally unnecessary to hold discussion on these items in the event that a board member wishes to
