The Special Education Department met several times this
summer to correlate services and to go over programs
offered. The Tecumseh site department includes Rebecca
Kling, 0-5 District Representative, Elementary Resource Teacher,
and
Asst. Special Education Director; and Lisa Schuster, High
School Resource Teacher. Para-professionals are Millie
Kaster, June Maul, and Julie North. The Cook Site Department
includes Mandy Haufle, Elementary Resource Teacher; Karla
Benson, Middle School Resource Teacher; and Lisa Othmer,
Pre-school Teacher. Para-professionals are Betty Teten, Abby
Klaasmeyer, and Sharol Palsen.
We also contract services from the Educational Service Unit
in Auburn. Emily Buddenberg is our Speech Pathologist; Joel
Halpine, Audiologist; and Ellen Stokebrand, Special
Education Director. The Life Skills program, Pre-school
program, and Multi-handicapped programs are also used. ESU
Early Childhood Coordinators Rose Petersen and Lori Haring
help to serve our 0-3 students and their families. Other
contracted personnel include Dave Nachtigal, Physical
Therapy; Coreen Noack, Occupational Therapist; and Brenda
Glunz, School Psychologist.
Currently Johnson County Central is serving approximately
85 students from ages 0-21 years old in one or more
services. If you know of anyone that may need services
please contact Rebecca Kling at 402-335-3320.
