Board approves $57,000 contract with Aya Healthcare for split exceptional-children teacher
Summary
The board approved a contract not to exceed $57,000 with Aya Healthcare to fill a split exceptional-children position at Northwest and Freeburg elementary schools for the remainder of the 2024–25 school year; funding will come from EC Medicaid funds.
Davidson County Schools trustees on Jan. 6 approved a service agreement with Aya Healthcare to hire an exceptional-children (EC) teacher on a split assignment between Northwest Elementary and Freeburg Elementary for the remainder of the 2024–25 school year.
Curriculum staff said the position became vacant in December and the Aya agreement would not exceed $57,000. The services will be paid using EC Medicaid funds, according to the presentation. The board moved, seconded and approved the contract in a voice vote; the record does not include a roll-call tally.
The superintendent noted the same meeting included two other EC service agreements (Celiant and Stepping Stones) that were pulled from the agenda for later consideration. Staff said they were not seeking approval for those two agreements at this meeting and may return with additional documentation in February.
