Vice Chair Theresa Smith noted the governing policy states DIAB \"shall report annually to the board\" and asked whether \"annually\" follows the Board of Education calendar or the advisory board’s reestablishment date.

Board Member Brown, serving as the committee’s liaison to the Board of Education, said she had contacted the board director before he went on leave and that the director told her the report does not have to be written. Brown said she would await board docs for the next board meeting and would contact the board chair if the required report is not placed on the next agenda, and then return to DIAB with a firm due date and format. \"He did say, it does not have to be a written report,\" Brown told the committee.

Members cautioned that even if a written report is not required, keeping records of actions and recommendations is useful; one member noted an annual report from 2018 exists and may contain useful action items. The committee also discussed data collection: Board Member Brown identified Board Policy 5125.4 (informed consent, student data gathering) and stressed that any survey or data-gathering plan must protect personally identifiable information (PII). She said she would consult with the board chair and relevant staff to ensure compliance before DIAB pursues any countywide survey or data collection.

Brown and other staff agreed to follow up with clarifying guidance on the report format and on permissible data-collection methods that protect student and parent privacy. DIAB members asked that action items from the 2018 report be shared with subcommittees, and staff said they would circulate action items to DIAB leadership for review before wider distribution.","Members asked whether the DIAB’s required annual report to the Board of Education is calendar-based or tied to reestablishment; Board Member Brown said the report need not be written and will confirm timing.

Tranel Bowman, recognized as the subcommittee representative, said some members were unable to attend a scheduled meeting and the group will reschedule. Bowman told DIAB she had gathered roughly 17 questions in a shared Google document and that several questions require responses from departments beyond Special Education, including building services, support programs and student services. \"So I'll be working with those different divisions and offices to respond, in preparation for our next committee meeting,\" Bowman said.

Bowman said she will bring compiled responses back to the full DIAB. The subcommittee did not take formal action at the March 18 meeting and will set a new meeting date by email. Bowman and others noted resources like the district’s specialist staffing plan are publicly available and can be shared with the subcommittee.

The subcommittee’s work is framed as preparatory: identifying technical and policy questions that will require department-level detail before DIAB could make formal recommendations about accessibility in new school construction.","The DIAB’s subcommittee on new school construction and accessibility reported collecting about 17 questions for PGCPS building services and related divisions and will reschedule a meeting to obtain cross-departmental responses.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6124329,"DIAB employment subcommittee asks PGCPS for data on 1-on-1 aides, pay and training",545,667000,1212000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2685702-12802634ce9923636d800668ab27cebc&start=667&end=1212","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2685702-12802634ce9923636d800668ab27cebc/thumbnail_667000.jpg","/articles/6124329/Maryland/DIAB-employment-subcommittee-asks-PGCPS-for-data-on-1-on-1-aides-pay-and-training","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6124329-bba836cf403d6c2674d35569aeabe228/orig.mp4?Expires=1776763450&Signature=QtOQC9kkuRUtCVNGdSerIQKK7ee66px3P~q8P-oUROt~6E85zSkva9750mqxm4megwISRHRIhOLr0VrbFN~UHQ3VnRWRg1s67Ps4l6uKtQUdVi5HbvM7nbj6wL4mF2K35lcEkJWNEk~Y6DaM3Y1gqiqm0hp3XfLSH3vIFoKpnFVZPC34169Cr3MDOb0IoGMgdbOqOL4224~DeqZy4nrXdG06qVr3UGl2mlt-KviUgMekFjT7tc3v~FxYsexNmc1iznmiuB4DxTDhffPI8324pR8Og2wtK5BjB9VSAUqSsxXM6kB6NyO-2ZI46oBlhjh-C8MXqfk7XO4kwX~T2dLkZw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Disability Issues Advisory Board (DIAB) heard a report March 18 from its employment and hiring subcommittee, which is seeking detailed staffing and pay data to prepare recommendations on 1-on-1 aides and related support positions across Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS).

Jamie Payne, lead of the employment and hiring subcommittee, told the board the subcommittee met March 8 and identified priorities including expanding opportunities for parent volunteers, improving staff education about rules, addressing what the group called inadequate compensation and benefits for 1-on-1 aides, and creating training opportunities for aides and specialty teachers. “We defined expectations, and the following issues to address and submit recommendations to the DIAB,” Payne said.

Payne said the group compiled a list of data it needs to analyze the problems: turnover rate for aides, wages for all levels within PGCPS, total number of aides and where they are positioned, number of aide vacancies, types of training aides receive, bus driver salary levels, and the district’s volunteer policy and where it is implemented. The subcommittee plans to meet twice per month and aims to gather and review data in March and April, prepare recommendations in April and May, and submit recommendations to DIAB in May.

Vice Chair Theresa Smith asked whether the subcommittee had authority to request presentations and whether a meeting with the district’s chief human resources officer (CHRO) should be scheduled. Payne confirmed the CHRO is the person to contact for strategy and that the subcommittee had volunteers to collect available data. Administrative staff present said they would reach out to administration on the subcommittee’s behalf and suggested allowing two to three weeks for scheduling any requested presentations.

Tranel Bowman, a PGCPS representative, noted that the system’s specialist staffing plan and other resources are publicly available on the special education landing page and said she would send those resources to the subcommittee. Bowman also pointed the group to Administrative Procedure 44216.6 (volunteer services) on the public website when the discussion turned to volunteer policy.

The subcommittee discussed protocol for requests that involve district staff who are also committee members, and DIAB leadership emphasized following the board office’s process so requests are coordinated and avoid conflicts with public meeting rules.

The subcommittee did not take formal votes at the March 18 meeting; it requested that staff help collect the listed data and schedule follow-up meetings. The subcommittee’s next meeting was scheduled for the coming Saturday.","At its March 18 meeting, the Disability Issues Advisory Board’s employment and hiring subcommittee reported data requests and a timetable to develop recommendations addressing turnover, wages, vacancies and training for 1-on-1 aides and related positions.","actionData","errors"]
