It's a first-of-its-kind program in Warrensburg-Latham Schools, aimed at providing support to students struggling in a variety of areas.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Superintendent of Warrensburg-Latham Schools, Cheryl Warner, told Regional Radio Radio they have an interventionist from the Regional Office of Education for the Macon and Piatt County offices to work with students grades 4-12.

According to Warner, Mariah Koehler (co-lur) will be an addition to the District's existing support staff to intervene with students with specific needs. Warner notes they are noticing the need for this program as their enrollment continues to grow. 

Koehler indicates she sees kids for a variety of things and sometimes multiple things. She indicates communication with teachers and parents is vital in the success of her program and that student.

While the program is beneficial, Warner hopes to eventually receive state funding to expand to Pre-K through third grade because that is where she says the need is most visible. And it is not just in Warrensburg-Latham. Many school leaders report challenges with young students coming to school not emotionally ready for school.
