District fills para positions, brings speech therapy in-house and reinstates Cedar Point camp funding
Summary
Student Services reported all paraprofessional positions are filled, in-house speech therapists will reduce contracted costs, and funding for the Cedar Point Science/Art Camp was reinstated allowing 20 students to attend.
Mr. Fehr told the board that all paraprofessional (para) positions have been filled and that moving speech-therapy services in-house will save the district money by reducing the need for external contracts. He also said Student Services is exploring partnership work with the Ogallala Opportunity Center to develop independent-living and community-engagement programs for students with unique support needs.
Mr. Fehr added that funding for the Cedar Point Science/Art Camp was reinstated in early June and the director was rehired, enabling a group of 20 students to attend the camp this summer.
