During public comment, Stephanie Roy, a Kooser Elementary parent and district resident, asked the board not to approve trading a specific parcel at 14th and Fletcher that she said had originally been designated for an elementary school. “I ask you if you could please vote no on that today,” Roy said, adding that the parcel “is right where we need the land to build a school.” Her remarks were part of public comment; board members said they would follow up with her outside the meeting.

Board discussion reviewed planning work on elementary boundaries and enrollment. Several board members said the Pegram site and the nearby Lincoln Northwest parcel would not fix immediate classroom-capacity issues. One board member said they had driven the sites and concluded the district was “wiser to do this land change at this point in time” and supported accepting “the million dollars plus for this piece of land” because it would not serve the district’s near-term needs.

Board members also noted the district’s planning committee will continue analyzing enrollment trends and capacities, and emphasized that boundary and facility decisions are multi-step processes that interact with middle-school capacity and future bond timing. The motion to approve the Pegram and Lincoln Northwest site property exchange was moved by Barbara Beyer and seconded; the board approved the exchange by roll call.

Earlier in the meeting, staff noted newly annexed property assigned to Wysong Moore Middle School and Standing Bear High School would return for a future first reading; standing planning work covers multiple growth areas across the district.

Because the public comment request concerned a specific parcel, board members directed the parent to meet with them outside the meeting to discuss the parcel and planning options, noting planning committee work and future conversations about capacity will continue.","The board approved a property exchange involving the Pegram and Lincoln Northwest sites despite a public plea to retain a parcel at 14th and Fletcher for a future school; board members said the land would not meet immediate enrollment needs and described the deal as prudent.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6501146,"Lincoln Public Schools approves school-based therapy contracts and remote school-psychology support",1077,1532000,2609000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5448563-5c6c3583c84addff22911e905a5cec93&start=1532&end=2609","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5448563-5c6c3583c84addff22911e905a5cec93/thumbnail_1532000.jpg","/articles/6501146/Nebraska/Lincoln-Public-Schools-approves-school-based-therapy-contracts-and-remote-school-psychology-support","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6501146-62509717d3536566d364a0fcae96e3b5/orig.mp4?Expires=1778726981&Signature=Sgx-pkFwZIe52Xo7-PSeyUBJo1n4kRfHBUQrwPkFW1oUmV1sqTn01FQKySyJu7Mnz7caiSUSPI3eUqdj4MSewJHN7qMiO8B3LJ4bzFmjl8WNqViaJrBPyoIgTaG82YXxUWw5kXlgHxLEzT~e9bP5lIETFwewxiI2GGh2Ym~jGQHz99ipjlgkiIBFlt13tlWjKCZnhn3nb2svWgW-bkuzTSTjXhd2RADXVKegOURKG5OlHFUoRULYsaROQry5WEXVJafvSVcNXJQuLAJBIi82u280s7hcN1~ftkqmg4ed3ZXgXP8esCoz1GQKMGll0ysRDBJTgiiJGrJkQwuCAu6iBQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lincoln Public Schools Board of Education on July 22 approved continuation contracts with five community behavioral-health providers to deliver therapy in schools and also approved a separate agreement for remote school-psychology services to support special-education teams.

The board approved the student services agreements with Blue Valley Behavioral Health, Family Service, HopeSpoke, Lutheran Family Services and Morning Star Counseling and waived a second reading so the providers could begin outreach as administrators return to campuses. The board separately approved an agreement with ProCare Therapy Incorporated for remote school-psychology services aimed at assessment, record review and compliance work for individualized education program (IEP) teams.

District staff told the board these in-school contracts provide about 700 hours of therapy support each week and are offered free to students and families through the student’s community school. Mike (staff), who presented the item, said, “What you have before you on this item is a continuation of service to provide, therapy through local schools for our students and families.” He said the partnerships “help provide approximately 700 hours of therapy support each week for our students and families.”

Board members emphasized the contracts’ value while noting access limits. One board member said the providers still maintain waiting lists “of 6 months to a year” depending on staffing and location. The board approved waiving second reading and passed the contracts by roll call.

On the separate ProCare item, district staff described the agreement as a resource to help school psychologists complete assessments, review records for reevaluations and participate in IEP team meetings. Dr. Gilotti (staff) told the board the remote services are designed as supplemental professional support rather than remote therapy, saying, “It is not individuals who be on the phone or on remote, doing Zoom therapy sessions.” The district said in-person therapy for students would continue through the local provider contracts already approved.

Board members said the ProCare agreement is intended to relieve workload pressures in an area with staffing shortages and to support compliance and timeliness for special-education work. The board approved the ProCare agreement by roll call.

The board discussion included requests to monitor the new remote arrangement’s effect and gather feedback from the school psychology team; staff said they will report back through committee work during the school year. No change to the cost of the in-school therapy program or specific contract dollar amounts were announced during the meeting.

The approvals come as the district highlighted broader efforts on student well-being and said administrators are preparing for the start of the school year.","The Lincoln Public Schools Board approved renewal of in-school therapy contracts with five community providers and a new agreement for remote school-psychology services intended to support special-education compliance, with board members noting demand and wait lists.","actionData","errors"]
