Board approves educational services contract to provide behavior specialists; district cautions cost could exceed $100,000
Summary
The Preston County Board approved a purchasing agreement to obtain behavior services including a board‑certified behavior analyst (BCBA) and registered behavior technicians (RBTs); the administration said the contract could exceed $100,000.
The Preston County Board of Education approved on Oct. 27 a purchasing agreement to secure specialized behavioral services for students, including provision of a board‑certified behavior analyst (BCBA) and registered behavior technicians (RBTs).
Administration briefed the board that the contract would be used to obtain BCBA services and RBT support where district staffing does not meet student needs. The superintendent and other administrators told the board they expect the contract could exceed $100,000 and asked the board to consider that in approving the vendor agreement.
A board member noted the district anticipates both BCBA oversight and RBT staff will be provided by the vendor. The motion to approve the contract was made and carried; the transcript records the board’s approval but does not list a detailed dollar amount in the public discussion aside from the district warning the contract may surpass six figures.
The administration said it would monitor costs and report back to the board as services are implemented.
