The Santa Rita Union Elementary Board approved a contract with Emergence to provide four contracted behavioral aides to serve newly qualified students and one new arrival; staff said the district currently has 10 district-hired aides and the additional four are specialized hires tied to IEP services.
District staff explained the contract with Emergence is intended to supply four additional behavioral aides to meet Individualized Education Program (IEP) obligations.
