The ISD 318 school board met Monday, March 8 and heard from Director of Itaskin Education Center (IEC) and School District #318 Special Educational Services Anna Lloyd who provided board members with an update on IEC.
IEC is located in the ITASKIN Education Center which is owned by North Homes Inc. Students are able to earn academic clock hours that are then sent to their home school district when they are discharged. Currently, there are 38 students, a lower amount than the typical 55-60 students according to Lloyd. She explained that this is due to the discontinuation of the Secure program through North Homes and the Department of Corrections and COVID-19 regulations.Â
