This is an annual resolution that gives the NEWESD101 the authority to provide and administer the educational program at Martin Hall Juvenile Detention Center.
The following requested clarifying information was provided by the EDS.
One person serves three sites as the Principal/Director; Juvenile Detention Center (JDC); Success through Academic Connections School (SAC); and Martin Hall.
We currently staff Martin Hall with two full-time (1.0) teachers, one .5 Education Advocate, one .5 School-Based Mental Health Clinician, one .33 Special Education teacher, one .33 records clerk, one .33 administrator and one .1 girls health and wellness advocate.
All the aforementioned staffing is made possible by braiding funding between all three of our Institutional Education (IE) sites. All funding is apportionment through Institutional Education and Title Grants specific to Justice Involved Youth.
Some student information:
The average monthly student count at Martin Hall is 12 students.
The average length of stay for students at Martin Hall is 17.89 days.
During the 23/24 school year, 40% of students enrolled at Martin Hall qualified for special education services.
The student to teacher ratio for all of our IE programs, combined, is 10:1. This is the ratio that is the state norm; however, the reality is that the true ratio is 8:1 due to the Prison Rape Elimination Act and physical space.
The creation of Martin Hall took place in 1997. It is managed by a private, not-for-profit company out of Butte, Montana - CCCS.
The counties that Martin Hall serves include Adams, Asotin, Douglas, Ferry, Lincoln, Pend Oreille, Spokane (overflow only), Stevens and Whitman.
As of today, there is one Medical Lake student who is served at JDC (our downtown facility). Currently, we do not have a record of any MLSD enrolled student ever being served at Martin Hall.
This is another set of cheer uniforms for surplus. These are a cardinal red top with white border and ML on the front, the skirt is the same color scheme with a megaphone on the corner. The High School cheer coach is planning to donate them to the Middle School cheer program.
