Board hears update on special-education caseloads and work on disproportionality
Summary
District staff reported current special-education caseloads across grade bands and said a root-cause analysis is underway in response to a 'significant disproportionality' flag; staff said they will share the report with the board when ready.
Speaker 2 provided the board with a special-education caseload rundown: K–6 = 46 students (three in process), grades 7–8 = 30 (one in process), and grades 9–12 = 28. Speech-only cases currently number three, with five additional students in the queue for eligibility processing.
Board members asked whether the district had submitted the required report on 'significant disproportionality.' Speaker 3 said Dana is working on the report and the district has convened a mediator team to perform root-cause analysis. "It's an ongoing process," Speaker 3 said, and promised to share the analysis with the board once it's more developed. The transcript includes requests from board members for a copy of the report when available.
