The Scranton School District has made a significant move by acquiring a building on East Mountain from the nonprofit Friendship House. This strategic purchase aims to address pressing capacity concerns within the district, particularly in the realm of special education. As the demand for specialized services continues to rise, the district recognizes the importance of expanding its facilities to better serve students with diverse learning needs.
The newly acquired building is expected to provide additional space for classrooms, therapy rooms, and other essential resources tailored for special education programs. This expansion not only reflects the district's commitment to inclusivity but also its proactive approach to ensuring that all students receive the support they require to thrive academically and socially.
With this development, the Scranton School District is taking a significant step forward in enhancing its educational offerings and ensuring that every student, regardless of their challenges, has access to quality education and support services. The community eagerly anticipates the positive impact this new facility will have on the lives of its students.
