We are pleased to partner with the following organizations to provide students and business professionals in McLean County the opportunity to learn and grow through interaction with one another.
We are proud to partner with State Farm to help them make their successful SLATE program available to all businesses in McLean County. SLATE is a program providing a win-win situation for the participating school and individual business person. On the part of the school SLATE provides a well qualified, well trained individual to serve as a substitute teacher for a day at no cost to the school to allow the full time teacher to attend professional development. The business person benefits from the sharing of their personal and business expertise giving the students a perspective they may not otherwise have.
