HANCOCK Superintendent Steve Patchin said that at during the April meeting of the Hancock School Board, the Copper Country Association of School Boards (CCASB) Awards were announced.
“These honors,” said Patchin, recognize individuals and organizations that have performed generous acts to benefit the district, its teachers, and/or its students throughout the past year.”
U.P Health Systems-Portage received the School Service Award.
School Service Award is presented to one individual in each district who has given outstanding service to education. The recipient may be a student, employee, or community member, and should be notable for his or her contributions to the quality of education above and beyond expectations associated with their job or status. These should be people who have been “spark plugs” for the district through means such as:

HANCOCK The Copper Country Intermediate School District board approved posting an assistant supervisor of special education position for the CCISD Learning Center at its monthly meeting.
The special education department has continued to grow, with classrooms in Baraga, Calumet, Hancock’s elementary and high schools and the ISD, Superintendent George Stockero said.
“It’s just too hard to cover,” he said. “There are many other ISDs who have two supervisors of special education.”

“We have just applied for funds from the state of Michigan to run the program,” said Patchin.
The programs will operate Monday – Thursday each week, from 9 a.m. Noon and include lunch for all students. Sessions will begin June 21 and end August 12.
“These fun and engaging learning experiences will be held for all K-12 students interested in participating from the participating districts,” Patchin said. “The high school learning programs will be, course, specific and count toward graduation requirements. All learning programs will be taught face-to-face.”
In addition to the Northern Lights Summer Program, there will also be the Northern Lights Summer Adventure Program, for which, said Patchin, funding has already been applied.
