Good day everyone! For our newest episode, we are pumped
to talk to you about a new position and program that was started in Coventry this year, called our Behavior Health and Wellness Coordinator . This position was filled internally by our very own Shari Brustoski, better known as Mrs. Bru.
Among many things, her position is working to provide consultation services to students and families in the district, along with implementing psychosocial assessments, planning interventions and supervising behavior coaches in the district – a position that she expertly held for years.
Mrs. Bru has worked in the Coventry School system for
23 years now, almost all of those as a focus behavior coordinator. Shari has formed meaningful and lasting relationships with countless students and families over those years and will now parlay those connections into her new role. I’ve had the privilege to work alongside Shari in several buildings over the years and I cannot speak highly enough about the heart, care and compassion that she brings to the table on a daily basis.
Coventry was lucky enough to be selected to participate in a 2 year pilot program in cooperation with the Summit County
Educational Service Center and the Peg’s Foundation, allowing us to rollout this new position. The grant was for over $60,000 meaning that this incredibly valuable role to our Coventry families is cost free to the school district. There were only 2 districts in the entire county, us and Tallmadge that were awarded the opportunity to participate in this for the next 2 years.
I know after you hear Shari talk today about this program, you’ll all understand and agree that the services being provided are
building, enhancing and solidifying the incredible relationships and opportunities afforded here in Coventry… so kick back, relax and enjoy the next 15 minutes with Mrs. Bru.
