Board approves MOU with occupational therapist Lynn Weatherlin
Summary
The Kootenai District board approved a memorandum of understanding to continue occupational therapy services from Lynn Weatherlin for special education students; trustees noted she is high‑demand and is expected to train a successor as she retires.
At the Kootenai District board meeting, trustees approved a memorandum of understanding to continue occupational therapy services provided by Lynn Weatherlin for special education students.
Trustee Bergquist described Weatherlin’s work and the staffing context: “Lynn does a great job for us. She’s pretty high demand. It’s really hard to find OTs,” Bergquist said, adding that Weatherlin is expected to train a replacement and is likely retiring. Board members moved to approve the MOU, members voted in favor, and the motion passed.
The board discussed that Weatherlin had been temporarily unable to communicate with staff when the MOU missed an earlier filing deadline, and that the agreement reflects the district’s effort to keep services in place for special education students. No dollar amount for the MOU was specified in the discussion. The board did not record an individual roll-call of votes in the transcript; the chair called for ayes and the motion passed.
