District reports roughly $32.13 million in MA billing; special education time study under way
Summary
District special education staff reported completion of a paraprofessional time study for MA billing and said Medicaid (MA) billing to date totals roughly $32.13 million; the district has surveyed the special education team on potential uses for those dollars.
Special education staff reported the district is conducting a 10-day time study of paraprofessionals for Medicaid (MA) billing and said billing revenue to date is in the range of approximately $32.13 million.
During the meeting a staff member said, "We are at $32,133,000 no 300,300 thousand right around there," and staff later characterized that as a high-level figure subject to confirmation. The district has surveyed special education staff to identify priorities for using MA-billed dollars and said it will report back with recommendations.
Staff described the time study as districtwide and intended to support MA billing for personal care attendant services and paraprofessionals. The district did not specify exact program allocations or a timeline for final reporting; staff said they will continue to update the board as the billing reconciliation and surveys advance.
