Board discusses transfer of single out-of-district special-education placement; cost referenced at $70,000
Summary
The superintendent explained the district is changing a student's out-of-district placement to a more appropriate placement. The transcript referenced an associated cost of $70,000; the board clarified the action is a placement change, not a termination from special-education services.
Board members questioned an item in the superintendent's report pertaining to an out-of-district special-education placement. A board member asked whether a student was being removed from placement; staff clarified the district is changing one out-of-district placement to another that is more appropriate for the student.
During the exchange a cost figure of $70,000 was referenced in relation to the placement. District staff confirmed the current action is a transfer between placements; the board recorded the clarification on the public record and requested clear page references for packet materials so members can follow exhibit numbering more easily.
No formal separate motion on this specific placement change was recorded in the public discussion beyond inclusion in the superintendent's report approval. The board asked staff to ensure exhibit references are clear in future packets and to provide any follow-up details required by the board.
