The College of Education and Human Ecology, along with the Franklin County Superintendent's Association and the Franklin County Teacher's Associations have maintained a long-standing Master Exchange of Services Agreement which allows the college to place clinical candidates in Franklin County schools.
In exchange for these clinical field placements, the college provides fee authorizations which can be used for tuition in appropriate career-related coursework. This agreement also allows school districts to customize graduate level coursework for their licensed staff at reduced rates. Fee authorizations are also earned by the district when faculty or graduate research is conducted in Franklin County schools.
