Board approves therapy contracts, $12,000 out-of-district tuition and policy updates
Summary
The board unanimously authorized annual contracts with several therapy providers for 2026-27, approved an out-of-district tuition rate of $12,000 (a $500 increase), adopted multiple policy revisions on second reading, and approved an unchanged reimbursement rate for unused sick leave.
During the business portion of the meeting the board considered and approved several routine contracts, a tuition rate, policy adoptions and an employee reimbursement item.
The board authorized the superintendent to execute 2026-27 agreements with Kenny Rogers Children's Center for physical and occupational therapy, New Outlook LLC for orientation, mobility and vision services, Craig Home Care (a PHS company), and Phoenix Home Care and Hospice. Each motion received a second and passed by voice vote.
On tuition the board approved an out-of-district tuition rate of $12,000 per student for the 2026-27 school year, an increase of $500 from the prior rate; board members noted the tuition is typically paid by the sending entity and that the district submits letters to request payment when appropriate.
The board conducted a second reading and adopted a package of policy revisions recommended by MSBA and the policy review committee (multiple policy codes were read into the record) and approved the annual reimbursement rate for unused sick leave days in excess of the maximum (rate unchanged). All business items were approved by voice vote without recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript.
