Effingham, IL-(Effingham Radio)- The Effingham Unit 40 Board of Education held their regular meeting on Monday evening and heard from Lincoln Ervin, a student at EHS who has Tourette Syndrome. He recently travelled to Washington, DC as an ambassador for Tourette Syndrome.
Lincoln gave a presentation to better explain what people with Tourette experience on a daily basis. Lincoln said that Tourette Syndrome involves various tics such as repetitive movements or unwanted sounds. After the presentation, the Board asked how they can help students in the district with the disorder. Lincoln said just having more awareness and understanding goes a long way.
The Board also announced the hire of Laura Sullivan as director of Career and Technical Education programs. Superintendent Andy Johnson said this program is designed to make students aware of career options and how best to move forward.
The Board also approved hiring of six “flex teachers”. Johnson said they will essentially be fulltime substitute teachers.
The Board also released their recent personnel moves.
