The school board voted unanimously to approve contracting with Soliant Health to provide services for students with hearing and low-vision needs for the school year.

A staff member asked the board for approval, saying, “We’re asking for approval for Soliant Health to provide our deaf hard of hearing services for the school year,” and later referenced low-vision services as part of the request. The motion to approve was made by Travis and seconded by Mary Lynn; the board vote was recorded as seven in favor, none opposed.

The item was presented as an approval of programs for the upcoming school year; no contract dollar amounts or term length were stated in the meeting record. Board members heard the recommendation and approved it during the consent/approval portion of the agenda.
