VICTORY TOWNSHIP — On Monday, May 13, the West Shore Educational Service District honored 44 people for making a difference in the life of students who receive special services from the ESD. The ceremony was held at West Shore Community College.
This school year more than 1,400 students with disabilities, birth through age 26, are supported by the West Shore ESD and local school districts in Lake, Mason, and Oceana counties.
Over the past nine years, the ESD’s Special Education Parent Advisory Committee has sponsored the annual “Make a Difference” Awards Ceremony to recognize agencies, businesses, and individuals that go above and beyond to enhance the educational opportunities for students with exceptional needs.
A total of 194 award recipients were honored previously
