NEW CASTLE -- Students with intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorders or mental health issues will be able to participate in an Extended School Year program this summer offered by Lark Enterprises, Inc.To participate, students between the ages of 16 and 21 in Lawrence, Beaver, Butler and Mercer counties had to be found eligible by their school district and be placed in an Individual Education Program.
Lark Enterprises’ Shenango and Neshannock Township locations will offer the program from June 23 to August 14.
Program supervisors, Susan Lautenbacher (Lark's chief executive officer) and Wendy McCutcheon (Rehabilitation Services unit director) are beginning the program based on what they say is great need in the community for an ESY program.
Lautenbacher said the program is integral to the educational success of students who contend with these disorders.
“We want to maintain the skills and knowledge these students learned in special education,” Lautenbacher said. “We don’t want them to lose any of that over the summer and programs like that prevent that from happening as quickly as possible.”
Students in the program will engage in a variety of activities including production work, screen printing, cooking, janitorial working and recycling.
Each of the activities offered is designed to help students maintain their progress in areas such as functional academics, social skill development, community integration and employment skill development.
Lautenbacher said that without this maintenance, these students will fall behind and risk losing progress made during the school year.
Program specialists and a job coach will also work one on one with students to help them retain vocational skills through the organization’s prevocational program.
Assessments will then be conducted throughout the summer to ensure that progress is being made and that the student’s predetermined level of support is being met.
“We’re really working hard to develop strong transitional programming for these students so they can continue to meet success in the adult world,” Lautenbacher said.
The organization also provides similar services for adults with disabilities or individuals experiencing employment barriers, including vocational evaluations, training and employment services.
As adults, students from the ESY program can make use of these services, working with Lark staff to continue and maintain success in a workforce environment after leaving school.
More than 200 individuals have been using Lark’s services and supports annually to achieve real-work experience since 1957.
Organizers are expecting a smaller number of students for the ESY’s first year, but meeting the needs of the students, no matter the number, is what matters for them.
“How do you make sure that you don’t lose all that progress made during the school year,” Lautenbacher said. “That’s what we’re hoping to solve.”

Oakland Township resident Dan Flynn recently set off on a mission to put his neighbors back to work. Last month, Flynn launched City Wide Maintenance of Detroit, a management company in the building maintenance industry that manages 25 facility services including janitorial.
Flynn’s entrepreneurial aspirations stemmed from a longing to help his community find work in Detroit’s unforgiving and unpredictable economic climate. Flynn is one of the many new business owners looking to help Detroit get back on their feet.
City Wide Maintenance is a national franchise building maintenance management company, based in Kansas City. Flynn’s new office in Bloomfield Township will serve commercial properties throughout the Northern Detroit Metropolitan region. Local building owners and property management companies now have access to a single-source solution for all of their building maintenance needs.
“We’ve developed a solution to end the frustration that commercial property owners and property management companies in the Detroit area feel about the amount of time and energy they’ve spent managing vendors, fielding service calls and negotiating rates,” said Flynn, president of City Wide of Michigan. “They now have full access to a round-the-clock facility services manager that will procure, schedule, monitor and ensure that all services are performed with our clients’ best interests in mind.”
City Wide has made a name for itself in major U.S. cities by streamlining commercial facilities and maintenance management of more than 20 services through a collection of service providers and alliance partners, including floor care, window washing, janitorial supplies, parking lot maintenance and several others. Taking the onus off building owners and property management companies that typically have to choose separate companies for each task, City Wide eases the selection and management processes for its clients.
Prior to launching City Wide of Michigan, Flynn had a successful career in banking and commercial real estate but became interested in the entrepreneurial opportunity and value that the City Wide model provides customers. In addition to his professional endeavors, Flynn is the treasurer and a board member of the Rainbow Connection children’s charity located in Rochester.
