The Mifflin County School Board, at their recent meeting, began considering adding a behavior support teacher to address rising emotional and behavioral needs among students. The position would provide teachers with strategies like de-escalation techniques. A finalized job description will be ready for a vote in December, with hiring anticipated after winter college graduations. In other business, the board also recognized middle school counselors Jane Foor and Andy McCardell for earning state and national awards in school counseling. Additionally, the district received a donation from the Donald Rothermel Charitable Trust to reduce student lunch debt, benefiting families facing homelessness.
