The Chillicothe R-II School District is expanding its “Grow Your Own” Teacher Program, thanks to a $403,000 grant from the Patterson Family Foundation. Chillicothe Superintendent Dr. Dan Wibers says this will allow them to expand their Pre-school Grow Your Own program to include students interested in becoming a teacher in grades K-8.
A lot of planning but would include classrooms.
Wiebers says Grow Your Own is what it sounds like.
Get them prepared before they head to college.
He says this is a two-year grant.
1st year for the planning and start the program in the 26/27 school year.
Wiebers says there is not enough time to put the program in place for the upcoming school year.
