Board approves ESY program, NRESC contracts and out‑of‑district placement for special education
Summary
The board approved the 2024 Extended School Year program for autistic preschool and other special‑education services, contracted with NRESC for PT, home instruction and evaluation services, and approved at least one out‑of‑district placement with costs listed.
The Woodland Park Board of Education approved its 2024 Extended School Year (ESY) programming and related contracts at the May 13 meeting.
The ESY plan covers autistic preschool, students with disabilities and learners with language delays (LLD). The district approved program dates, staffing levels for aides and related service allocations and listed Charles Olbon School as an ESY site. The resolution cites N.J.A.C. 6A:14-4.3(c) for ESY authorization.
The board also approved contracts with the North Region Educational Service Commission (NRESC) to provide physical therapy, home instruction and evaluation services for ESY and the 2024–25 school year. Examples listed in the minutes include PT services for ESY at $100/hour and a 2024–25 PT contract cost of $93,703.32; evaluation services were listed at $400 per evaluation and home instruction at $70/hour.
An out‑of‑district placement for student ID 34711 at the NRESC Phoenix Center for the 2024–25 school year was approved, with listed costs ($52,000 plus $27,500 for aide/related services as presented). The board documented a separate ESY out‑of‑district placement for July 2024 and other ESY service details in the packet.
These approvals were recorded as passed by roll call, 8–0. The Special Education department is responsible for implementing staff assignments and service contracts.
Next steps include scheduling approved services and confirming invoices with contracted vendors.
