Board asked to sign SASED vision outplacement agreements for three students; billing dependent on IEP and funding sources
Summary
Staff requested trustee signatures on outplacement agreements with SASED for three students with low-incidence disabilities so SASED can bill the district for services; staff said IDEA funds will apply as determined by each student's IEP and indicated Medicaid may be a possible source but did not confirm coverage.
Staff asked trustees to sign outplacement agreements with SASED for three students with low-incidence disabilities so SASED can provide specialized vision services and bill the district at the end of the school year.
The presenter said the three students have "low incidence disabilities that could be severe visual impairment, hearing impairment, or other intellectual disabilities which require more specialized services. These are students in outplaced facilities, and we just require a signature from the board for an outplacement agreement, and that will then subsequently, impact and allow them to bill us, at the conclusion of the school year for these services." The presenter confirmed billing and funding are tied to each student's Individualized Education Program (IEP) and noted that IDEA funds are used when dictated by the IEP.
A trustee asked whether Medicaid picks up the cost; staff said "probably" but did not provide confirmation. The transcript therefore indicates IDEA funds and district funds will be involved, and that Medicaid coverage was mentioned as a possibility but not established in the meeting.
The item was described as requiring board signature; staff noted it will appear on the full-board agenda for action. No vote was recorded in the provided transcript.
