Nikki Staats back in the swing of things

I might have mentioned that Nikki Staats, our homeless student liaison with Wood County schools is back on the job (she has two months off in the summer, based on her contract with Wood County schools). She is already hard at work helping families who are experiencing homelessness and their children are students with Wood County schools. She advocates and provides assistance in many varied and flexible ways. She is pleased to be working with the county's new attendance director, Chris Rutherford. Deb Murphy has also had some conversations with Chris about opportunities to work together between the schools and a social service agency.
