Board approves $30,000 contract with ELS for ESE coaching and implementation support
Summary
The board approved a roughly $30,000 contract with ELS to provide external coaching and implementation support for the district's ESE program; funding will come from IDEA dollars, officials said.
The Bay District School Board approved a contract with ELS to provide coaching and implementation support for the district’s special-education program.
District officials described the $30,000 agreement as a mix of on-site and remote consulting aimed at supporting the new executive director and building implementation capacity under the district’s ESE improvement plan. Staff said the work will include regular check-ins and focused professional development to help the district implement recommendations from a recent ESE study.
Board members said the cost was modest relative to the program goals and noted ELS had previously assisted the district. Officials said the contract is funded through IDEA (federal ESE) dollars rather than the general fund. The motion passed by roll call.
