Board approves CESA 5 contract to provide special-education director services
Summary
The board approved a 2025–26 CESA 5 contract (projected 43.77% higher) to contract a special education director role (Amanda Boettcher) beginning July 1; administrators said the contract shift will reclassify salary/benefit costs into contracted services.
Lynn Knight presented the 2025–26 CESA 5 contract for approval, noting it provides services that are difficult for small districts to staff—primarily special education. She said the district is contracting Amanda Boettcher from CESA 5 to fulfill the special education director role for 2025–26 and that the contract cost is projected to increase roughly 43.77% largely because of that staffing arrangement.
The board discussed the start date and implementation; Lynn Knight confirmed the contract year begins July 1. The board moved, seconded and approved the CESA 5 contract by voice vote; the chair announced the motion carried. Administrators said the contractual increase offsets salary and benefit lines in the district budget and will be budgeted as contracted services rather than payroll expense.
No dollar amount for the contract itself was read into the meeting packet during the presentation beyond the stated percentage change; administrators said full contract documentation is in the board packet.
