Board approves MOA to create four special‑education IEP compliance stipends
Loading...
Summary
The board unanimously approved a memorandum of agreement to create four special-education IEP compliance coordinator stipend positions to help quantify and support IEP scheduling and compliance work in middle and high schools.
Assistant Superintendent Richards explained a memorandum of agreement May 13 establishing four stipend positions to coordinate special-education IEP compliance and scheduling work in the district’s middle and high schools, and the Board of Education approved the MOA unanimously.
Richards said the agreement grew from work last year to quantify and qualify the district’s special‑education compliance workload. In consultation with Assistant Superintendent Beistrac, the district recommended a repeat of a one‑year MOA that created stipend positions last year; the board approved the MOA to allow another year of implementation while the district and union consider whether to make the arrangement permanent.
Formal action: Trustee Fred moved to approve the memorandum of agreement creating four special education IEP compliance coordinator stipend positions; Trustee Leanne seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Next steps: the district will implement the stipend positions for the coming year, monitor outcomes and determine whether to pursue a permanent arrangement with the KTA in future negotiations.
