Court authorizes MOU to provide mediation services for Betty M. Condress School truancy cases
Summary
The commissioners authorized the county judge to sign a memorandum of understanding with the Betty M. Condress School for Education Innovation to address truancy for students with specialized disabilities via mediation; staff said training will be provided and the county expects no general-revenue cost for mediators.
County staff presented a memorandum of understanding with the Betty M. Condress School for Education Innovation to provide mediation services for truancy issues involving students with specialized disabilities. "It's the first one we've ever done with a school with specialized disabilities and so forth," said the presenting staff member, who described training needs and the pilot nature of the agreement.
Commissioner Recker moved, and Commissioner Shaw seconded, to authorize the county judge to sign the MOU. Staff clarified mediator costs would typically be paid by the parties or via grant but that training for county staff may be involved; the court approved the authorization without recorded opposition.
