The full story

The agenda committee discussed strategies to recruit and retain speech‑language pathologists (SLPs). Staff described a proposal to allow certain license types and to offer a hard‑to‑staff supplement (about $2,500) and an additional national certification supplement (approximately $2,650) for candidates who meet qualifications; combined, those supplements would total roughly $5,000 in incentives for some hires.
