C.O.P.E. welcomes Willow Run Community Schools Student Services Administrator,
Laconda Hicks, to our board of directors. Ms. Hicks is the Director of
Student Support Services at Willow Run Community Schools. In the past,
she has worked in Detroit Public Schools as a teacher for several years,
and most recently as Special Education Department Chair and Community
Vocational Coordinator for Southfield Public Schools. She is also currently
a Doctoral Candidate at Cambridge College in Massachusetts. Of her passion
for working with students, she states, “I grew-up in a household
with a disabled sister, therefore I was an advocate for handicapped children
before I even knew what an advocate was. Assisting the special needs population
is my passion, and I highly regard this responsibility”. Ms. Hicks
stated she gladly accepted the nomination to the C.O.P.E. board because
she believes the program is a great resource to the community.
Ms. Hicks on C.O.P.E.: C.O.P.E. serves the counties at-risk population,
and concentrates on rehabilitating the whole child with dignity. The center
has a well trained, caring staff that supports students and families with
reaching their full potential.
