Board creates five itinerant aide positions to meet students' IEP needs
Summary
The Lincoln County Board of Education on Aug. 19 approved personnel actions that include creating five itinerant aide positions to serve students with Individualized Education Programs; superintendent said the change lets aides move between schools without separate board action.
The Lincoln County Board of Education approved personnel items Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2025, at the board's regular meeting in Hamblin, including the creation of five itinerant aide positions intended to meet increased student needs documented in Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). The personnel motion passed 5-0.
Superintendent Barnett explained the district is creating the positions because “our students are coming to us more and more with needs, as per their IEP,” and said the positions are labeled itinerant so staff can reassign an aide to another school when a student moves without returning to the board for each reassignment. Barnett described that as an administrative flexibility intended to respond to changing student placement and needs.
The board approved the personnel slate as presented in the blue packet; no dollar amounts, salary scales, or specific assignment locations were provided in the meeting transcript. Board members did not amend or add conditions to the positions during the Aug. 19 session.
Formal vote: the personnel approval passed unanimously, 5-0. The meeting record lists the personnel item as part of agenda item 10; the transcript does not include further details about hiring timelines or funding sources for the new positions.
