We're pleased to share that @MrSearight will begin a new role with the @ESCLC this fall.
Known to many for his work supporting career pathways and workforce connections, he will continue partnering with districts to help create meaningful opportunities for students.
The more we understand how reading develops, the better equipped we are to support students when it doesn't come easily.
AIM Pathways to Proficient Reading connects reading research to instructional practice and student success.

A slower season can be a powerful thing.
A book picked up out of curiosity. A project started for fun. A question that turns into a new interest.
Summer has a way of giving imagination the time and space it needs to grow.
Educators across our region know @erica_kaufmann2
as a thoughtful partner and advocate for literacy.
This fall, she'll begin a new role with @SSTregion2, continuing her work in support of schools, educators, and students.
The earliest years matter and so do the educators who support them.
We're hiring an Early Childhood Specialist to provide coaching, technical assistance, and support to early learning programs across the region.

Please help us welcome Sydney Orchowski to the @ESCLC team!
As an Intervention Specialist at The Early Learning Center, Sydney will help support young learners during some of their most important years of growth and development.
The school year tells us a lot about what children know. Summer can tell us what fascinates them.
We're sharing a family resource that encourages us to notice the things that spark curiosity and keep children engaged in learning throughout summer.

Some summer reading happens on the couch. Some in the car. Some by the pool.
However it happens, every page counts.
We're sharing a reading opportunity from @MalleysCHOC that may help keep young readers turning pages all summer long.

Some of the most important work in schools happens quietly. A student gaining confidence. A little more independence than yesterday.
We're hiring a Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant for the 2026-2027 school year.

Congrats to Abby Lahue, Teacher of Students with Visual Impairments and Orientation & Mobility, on the publication of My Pal Cane!
Her thoughtful children's book promotes awareness, inclusion, and representation while providing a tremendous resource.

Sometimes a student succeeds because an adult helped a team slow down, rethinks a plan, advocates more, or noticed what others missed.
We’re looking for a Special Education Coordinator to help lead that kind of work at the @LorainCountyJVS.

Before this school year becomes packed boxes and summer plans, take a second to notice the things that changed quietly over time.
Not every important moment was loud.
But that doesn’t make it any less meaningful.
Ensure you’re fully certified to support student-athletes. The Coaches' Tool Chest offers essential training in Lindsay’s Law, concussions, CPR, and more - plus training to enhance your coaching.

There’s something powerful about graduation season.
The applause may last a few moments, but it represents years of learning, encouragement, resilience, and people showing up for students again and again.
To the graduates of Lorain County - we celebrate you.
Yesterday’s @PSLorainCounty graduation celebrated far more than the end of a program.
It celebrated growth, partnerships, independence, and students discovering what they’re capable of when given opportunities and support.
Congrats to our graduates at @mercy_health - Lorain.
The school year may be ending, but care for kids continues all summer long.
Free meals for youth ages 1–18 will be available through the SUN Meals Program thanks to incredible community partners helping ensure children continue to have access to nutritious meals this summer.
