Work-Study Program
The Work-Study Program is an integral part of the
special education program in the Medina City Schools. This program offers students an
opportunity to enhance their work-related skills as well as their social
skills through practical work experience.
The students are also able to earn up to three elective credits
through employment as long as the terms of the Work-Study contract are
fulfilled. All students who have an
IEP are eligible for work-study services and elective credit. Services needed are determined by the IEP
team. They can include but may not
be limited to transition services, job development, job carving, interview
training, agency rehab referral and evaluation. Students may earn elective credit by
working a paid position in the community.
For every 160 hours they document as worked, they earn one elective
credit.
