This agreement is between Clay County District Schools and Naval Medical Readiness & Training Command to allow Eric G. Christiasen an unpaid developmental internship under the Department of Defense Skillbridge Program to provide educational experience and learning opportunities that will advance his skills in a formal classroom setting. 

Without this agreement, Eric G. Christiasen cannot be placed in Clay County District Schools and would thereby prevent potential teacher candidates from choosing Clay to begin their career.

This is an updated agreement and partnership between Clay County District Schools and Naval Medical Readiness & Training Command.
