Board approves school-based interventionist contract, math curriculum purchase and an employee leave request
Summary
The board approved a Green Hills AEA contract for school-based interventionist services, purchased an Imagine Learning math curriculum for Titan Hill, and approved an unpaid leave request after a closed session on personnel.
At its April 21 meeting the Lewis Central Community School District board approved three action items: a contract with Green Hills AEA for school-based interventionist services, a district purchase of a new math curriculum for Titan Hill, and an employee unpaid leave request decided in closed session.
Green Hills AEA agreement: The board approved an agreement with Green Hills AEA for school-based interventionist services totaling $128,618. The contract provides five-day-a-week interventionist coverage at the high school and middle school, three days a week at Titan Hill, and one day a week at Kraft Elementary. The presenter said the interventionists help connect at-risk students to counselors and therapists and handle attendance-law related duties that have increased under recent changes. The motion to approve (agenda item 10.02) passed on roll-call with all voting yes.
Math curriculum purchase: The board approved a $62,264 purchase of the Imagine Learning math curriculum for Titan Hill (agenda item 10.03). Staff said teachers at Titan Hill piloted the program last year and reported positive feedback from teachers and students; the lead team and instructional coaches have planned professional learning to support a smooth rollout. The motion to purchase the curriculum passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.
Employee leave: After a closed-session discussion under statutory authority for personnel confidentiality, the board approved an unpaid leave request for an identified employee (agenda item 10.04). The board voted in open session to approve the request; details about the employee and the leave were discussed in closed session and were not disclosed in the public minutes.
Why it matters: The AEA interventionist contract funds counseling-linked supports and attendance work, the math curriculum purchase affects instruction at Titan Hill, and the personnel decision uses the board’s permitted closed-session process for confidential records.
