Board approves contracts for ASL interpreting and specialized education services for 2025–26 school year

The Central Valley School District Board of Education approved several contracts for the 2025–26 school year to provide specialized educational services to students under Individualized Education Programs. The board approved an agreement with the Allegheny Intermediate Unit to provide educational interpreting services, including American Sign Language instruction, for a Central Valley student at a cost of $90,000 for the 2025–26 school year. The item was presented on the agenda as attachment E. The board also approved agreements with Adelphi Education Services to provide educational services to one or more Central Valley students and with MHY Family Services to provide educational services at Longmore Academy to one or more Central Valley students; those items were listed on attachments F and J, respectively. All three agreements were approved during the voting session; the transcript records the motions, a second by Board Member O'Neil for one item, and voice votes recorded as "motion carries." The transcript does not provide contract start/end dates beyond the 2025–26 school year notation, nor does it include detailed service descriptions beyond the ASL/interpreting reference for the Allegheny Intermediate Unit item. The agreements were presented as compliance with students' IEPs (individualized education programs). The transcript does not record public comment on these contracts.
