Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, April 17, 2017 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br />? <br />i <br />I <br />We assess students. We grade them on a four point rubric. All of our students are on an IEP. We <br />work on safety, following directions, communication and taking initiative. We have had the house <br />for nine years and I just wanted to thank you. It's such a wonderful place to teach tlus class. I have <br />talked to so inany other professionals who have the same type of curriculum and they can't do it in a <br />house. They have to do it in a classrooin and it's not the same. It's not like having the real life <br />experience in a house. Does anyone have any questions? <br />Council President Saponaro asked, in terms of teaching them, do you have aids and other people <br />teaching with you? <br />Ms. Rose replied, I have one aid. I have eight students in the morning and eight students in the <br />afternoon. <br />Council President Saponaro asked, so when you are going to different places, is it as the group? <br />Ms. Rose replied, we usually divide and conquer. I will take four kids to the grocery store and she <br />will stay back with the other four kids and clean or cook. <br />Council President Saponaro asked, and in terms of the levels of disabilities? <br />Ms. Rose replied, wide range. I have kids that actually live on their own in their own apartments and <br />then I have students that are non-verbal. The whole spectruin of disabilities. <br />Council President Saponaro stated, we thank you.. It's a wonderful program. It certainly is a <br />showpiece and a wonderful asset to our community that we offer this for the school system and <br />surrounding areas. <br />Ms. Rose stated, if you ever want to come out, just stop by. I also want to thank the Service <br />Department. They come out and plow our driveway and mow the grass. Thanks. <br />Mr. Ross stated, thanks also to Diane. Diane has been where the rubber meets the road for us since <br />the begiiuung of making this happen. I just want to close again by saying this is truly innovative. <br />There's nothing like this anywhere. Our gratitude is deep to all of you for allowing us to use the <br />home to teach these valuable skills. Thank you again. <br />Council President Saponaro stated, excellent. Anyone else? <br />There were no further comments. <br />Council President Saponaro stated, thank you. We really appreciate what you do.
