Trustee requests update on prior FCMAT recommendations and outcomes for students with disabilities
Summary
A trustee asked staff to prepare an update on implementation and outcomes from a prior FCMAT report, with an emphasis on academic gains for students with disabilities, financial costs of interventions (such as co-teaching), and staffing ratios for services like occupational therapy.
During the future-board-items portion of the meeting, a trustee asked the superintendent and staff to prepare an update on issues raised in a FCMAT report from about 18 months earlier. The trustee requested the update include observed academic gains for students with disabilities, financial costs tied to implementation (specifically co-teaching rollout), and staffing ratios for services such as occupational therapy and related supports.
Superintendent Doctor Antonio Castro said staff would bring such an update forward and noted that a full new FCMAT review may not be the best mechanism for the narrower questions the trustee posed. The trustee emphasized including staffing-ratio details identified previously by FCMAT and to compare costs against student outcome measures.
Staff committed to preparing the requested materials for a future meeting so the board can review implementation progress, costs and outcome data. No formal action or vote was taken on this request at the meeting.
