Summary
Administrators presented a Tuscarora Intermediate Unit 11 agreement for special education services at $87,403; board members asked whether this is an increase from last year and requested comparative figures and follow‑up at the Dec. 18 meeting.
During the Committee of the Whole discussion, administration presented an agreement with Tuscarora Intermediate Unit 11 for special education services for the 2025–26 school year, retroactive to Sept. 1, at a figure of $87,403.
Board members asked whether that amount represented an increase from the previous year. One board member who checked BoardDocs said the 2024–25 TU agreement was $50,395, and that the number presented at the meeting represents a substantial increase. Administrators said they would verify the figures and provide a comparison at the Dec. 18 meeting so the board can consider the item with fuller documentation.
A question was raised in the meeting about the contract’s language noting estimated program cost and that the final district cost might vary depending on program utilization; administrators said they would follow up with clarifying information.
At the time of the discussion in this transcript, no final vote or ratification on the Tuscarora agreement was recorded; the administration committed to report back with details at the December meeting.
