The Northshore School District board voted Nov. 24 to approve a procurement exceeding $1,000,000 to secure 1:1 special‑education services and behavior planning supports across district sites, Superintendent Dr. Justin Irish told the board during the meeting.

Superintendent Irish recommended approval, saying the expenditures support special‑education services "at various sites based on students' individualized education plans." Board members noted this is an annual contract and acknowledged the service's expense as part of continued support for students with individualized needs.

The motion to approve the purchase was made, seconded and carried; the transcript does not record mover/second names or a roll‑call tally.

Why it matters: The contract funds individualized supports required by students' IEPs and represents a material annual expenditure in the district’s special‑education program. The board’s approval authorizes staff to proceed with the procurement.

What’s next: The superintendent and business office will implement the contract; the approval was entered on the consent/action calendar at this meeting.
