City schools, corporation create a new partnership

Providing opportunities outside classroom

YOUNGSTOWN — The Youngstown City School District is working with HLW Fast Track Inc. McDonalds in a partnership for the “Current Scholars, Future Leaders” initiative.

Opportunities will be created for students to learn through business seminars, career shadowing, employment and on-the-job manager training.

East High School, McGuffey Elementary and Wilson Elementary are the partnership schools for this initiative.

Each of the stakeholders say students need additional learning experiences outside and beyond school buildings.

CEO Justin M. Jennings, who is focused on expanding efforts to improve school climate and culture, has said it’s a priority of the school district.

The three campus principals submitted proposals to support unconventional, experimental and evidence-based learning and leading practices.

“The Current Scholars, Future Leaders Initiative will help our schools with the support they need for incorporating continuous improvement strategies for academic success. The initiative will provide student opportunities beyond our scholars’ K-12 experience here in the Youngstown City School District,” Jennings said.

He recognized Herb Washington, CEO of HLW Fast Track McDonalds, for his work with the principals — Maurice Taylor, East; Aaron Bouie, McGuffey; and Rick Fox, Wilson — to bring this partnership to life.

“It is indeed our responsibility to roll up our sleeves and expand our bandwidth within the Youngstown City School District. This is just the beginning of a broader partnership where the scholars can work and develop real-world skills and application toward positive life experiences,” said Washington.

“We are very fortunate that HLW Fast Track McDonalds believes in our vision to improve school climate and culture by investing in our scholars. We appreciate their work to help increase social justice consciousness and offer remedies through cooperative work experiences,” Maurice Taylor, East High School principal, said.
