Board approves MOUs for ABA partnerships and state special school coordination
Summary
The board approved two memorandums of understanding: one to formalize partnerships with third‑party applied behavior analysis (ABA) providers and another with the Tennessee Department of Education covering coordination for students attending the Tennessee School for the Deaf and the Tennessee School for the Blind.
The Director of Schools presented and recommended approval of two memorandums of understanding. The first MOU would allow Alcoa City Schools to enter general partnership agreements with third‑party applied behavior analysis (ABA) providers that support students with behavioral and developmental needs. The second is an annual MOU with the Tennessee Department of Education that covers arrangements for students who attend state special schools, specifically the Tennessee School for the Deaf and the Tennessee School for the Blind.
Board members recorded voice approval for both MOUs. The documents are routine annual agreements the district uses to coordinate services for students who require specialized placements or external provider support.
