From the meeting
Melissa Habich, a special education teacher at Berne-Knox-Westerlo High School, asked the Board of Education and district administration to approve introducing a certified therapy dog named Nyx into High School Room 213 for the upcoming school year. The proposal said Nyx and Habich are a Certified Therapy Team through Pet Partners and that the dog would support classroom instruction and student social-emotional learning (SEL). Habich said she would handle all care and supervision and that the program would not be a financial or operational responsibility for the district.
The request was pending board consideration at the October 2, 2026 meeting.
