MINERAL RIDGE
The Weathersfield school board has approved billing colleges and universities whose students do internships or student teaching in the district.
The funds received will be used for classroom supplies or expenses related to the classroom.
The district will see $240 from two separate student teachers this school year, school Superintendent
Damon Dohar said Wednesday.
The amount is set at $12 for every week there is a student teacher in the district. This school year, the district had student teachers 20 weeks, one for eight weeks and anther for 12 weeks.
Previously, colleges or universities would provide a stipend or a coupon as payment, but the Ohio Ethics commission ruled against that practice, so now districts are to be paid.
