Parent raises concern over missing physical-therapy services; board declines to discuss individual student matters in public
Summary
A parent told the board her child lost physical-therapy sessions after a staff change and said district communication had been insufficient; the board declined to discuss individual student services in public and directed the parent to district personnel and the board email.
A parent told the board that her child’s physical-therapy services stopped Dec. 20 after a staff departure and said she had not received timely communication from the district. The parent said a replacement had been hired but had not yet begun and sought clarification on how missed sessions would be made up.
The board declined to discuss personal student services in the public meeting, citing privacy and legal constraints. A board member said the board had not previously received direct communication and encouraged the parent to contact the head of pupil-personnel for case-specific discussions. The board provided its public email address and said members’ contact information appears in the district calendar and on the district website.
The parent said she had already called the head of pupil personnel and other administrators without a satisfactory response. Board members said they would relay the parent’s concern to district administrators but emphasized they could not address individual student records or services in open session.
The board moved into executive session later in the meeting; the public transcript does not document any executive-session content or any formal resolution on the physical-therapy staffing question.
