Summary
Board Member Libby McDonald reported NCKSEC Interlocal #636’s per-student cost increased from $11,000 to $14,000; member districts are discussing 12–15% local assessment increases and services such as ABA therapy, with more budget details to come at a superintendent meeting.
Board Member Libby McDonald presented the NCKSEC Interlocal #636 report to USD 237 trustees, saying the cost per student for services rose from $11,000 last year to $14,000 this year. McDonald said the interlocal is discussing possible increases in local assessments for member districts in the range of 12–15 percent and noted ABA therapy was on the agenda for district-level discussion. McEwen said additional NCKSEC budget details would be shared at the superintendent meeting on March 11.

The minutes do not contain a breakdown of services included in the per-student figure or the dollar amount the proposed assessment increase would generate for USD 237.
