Board hears recommendation to renew speech‑language services contract for special education student supports
Summary
Staff recommended a one‑year contract with a speech‑language pathologist from Hello Therapy to provide in‑person services at West Pine Elementary under the children with disabilities funding (PRC 032); trustees were told the cost will not exceed $98,400 and the therapist is currently located in the area.
The board reviewed a recommended contract to add one speech‑language pathologist under the district’s exceptional children services for the 2025–26 school year. Special education staff said the contract is with Hello Therapy and would support services primarily at West Pine Elementary. The therapist named in the contract is a clinical fellow arriving from out of state and will provide in‑person services.
Nut graf: The contract cost will be paid from the state children with disabilities funding (PRC 032) and the total not‑to‑exceed amount reported in the briefing was $98,400. Trustees asked clarifying questions about the service delivery model and whether services would be face‑to‑face; staff confirmed the therapist had moved to the area over the summer and would provide in‑person services.
Ending: The board placed the contract on the consent list for action; staff will proceed with contract execution following approval and necessary paperwork.
