Matt Altieri, a teacher at Ravenna High School, shows Marlene Maneage, the manager at Prentice Café, a career project he’s looking over on September 20, 2016. Matt brings his students with special needs up to Kent State on weekday mornings for them to work in the café, gaining good work experience. “Marlene is realistic with the kids,” said Matt. “She doesn’t baby them, too many people try to baby them.”
