Jane DeRight
A KPS Reading Specialist before “retiring”, Jane DeRight now serves as Edison’s Attendance Interventionist. Thosewho know Jane will tell you she is truly a“Jack of all trades”.
Over the last 6 years Jane has assisted the Site Coordinator with a number of KCIS supported programs. Some of these include:
o Being a mentor to WMU Bachelor level social work interns
o Supporting WMU Master Social Work interns placed at Edison help students with attendance issues
o Member of the Edison School Based Health Center Community Advisory Committee
o School Liasion for Girls on the Run
o Liaison with parents and assistance with vision assistance program
o When parents have been hesitant about agreeing to a service, Jane’s relationships with the family often makes the difference
Jane holds--both within her head and in her heart--the children of Edison.
Her connections and credibility with both children and families have helped KCIS and its partners more fully meet the needs of students.
Congratulations Jane, on your 2008 Champ Award!
