District explains contract for private separate day program placements under IEPs
Summary
Staff described a contract with a private agency to provide private separate day program placements for students whose IEPs require a higher level of behavioral, social-emotional and academic support than the district's public separate day program can provide.
District staff presented a contract to pay for private separate day program placements when a student's individualized education program (IEP) requires a more intensive setting than the district's public separate day program.
Dr. Mathis explained that the district offers a continuum of placements, including a public separate day program (Miller Park Center) and private separate day programs for students who need more intensive behavioral, social-emotional and academic supports. The contract covers enrollment and services for students placed in private separate day settings under their IEPs.
No vote or motion was recorded during the instruction meeting excerpt; the item was presented to inform the board and appears on upcoming consent materials.
