Contract AwardProfessional ServicesDetected Jun 26, 2026

The board agenda includes approval of an affiliation agreement with the University of Michigan Flint College of Health Sciences Social Work Department for intern placements. The agreement spans a five-year term from June 2026 through June 2031 and will be overseen by Cari O’Connor, Associate Superintendent of Early Childhood Services. This creates a structured pipeline for social work interns to serve in MAISD programs, particularly early childhood, and signals ongoing attention to social-emotional and family support services.While the university partnership is set, vendors that provide supervision tools, case management or documentation systems, and training content for social-emotional learning and family engagement can align offerings with the district’s expanded capacity to deliver social work services through interns and staff.

Intern placement program may increase service capacity in early childhood and related student support programs.
