Summary
Personnel Services reported special-education enrollment figures and placement counts for the district as of July 1, 2025, and said future reports will add narrative and fiscal context.
At the Aug. 6 meeting the district’s Personnel Services presenter (Martino) provided the last report of the 2024–25 school year and summarized special-education enrollment and placements as of July 1, 2025.
Martino said 1,856 of the district’s 8,085 enrolled students had been identified as requiring special-education services as of July 1, 2025, representing 22.96% of total enrollment. She reported 131 students with disabilities were in private out-of-district placements and 94 students were placed in other public out-of-district schools (including magnet schools).
Martino said the reporting format will change next month to include narrative snapshots and fiscal lines that tie personnel and special-education numbers to costs, to provide clearer context for the public and for the board’s January budget work. Board members requested that the full text of personnel reports be attached to meeting materials for easier reference in budget books.
Why it matters: Special-education enrollment and out-of-district placement counts affect staffing, service delivery and district special-education expenditures; the district said future reports will provide additional fiscal detail.
