The Benicia Unified School District Board of Trustees on Thursday heard a presentation about a district program that connects special education students with local businesses — to the benefit, its coordinator said, of both.
Marivic Magallanes explained how the state-funded WorkAbility program offers not only individual education plans to Benicia and Liberty High School students, but also a Community Based Instruction program that helps special-needs teens and young men and women make the transition to adult life.
