Board approves contracts to outsource speech‑language services and hires part‑time math teacher for Excel
Summary
The board approved contracts to outsource speech‑language services after losing an in‑house certified provider and approved a part‑time math teacher contract at Excel (4 hours per day, 5 days a week). Both items were recommended by the presenter and passed by voice vote.
The district approved several staffing contracts to fill gaps in services before the school year.
Presenter said the district lost an in‑house certified speech‑language provider (Angela Bonds) and recommended contracting for speech‑language services; "It's my recommendation we take it as listed," the presenter said before the board approved the contract by voice vote. A follow‑up recommendation added a second contracted provider to meet the district’s geographic needs; the board approved that contract as well.
On staffing for Excel, the presenter described difficulty recruiting a full‑time math teacher and recommended hiring a retired math teacher on a part‑time contract: "Someone would come in for 4 hours a day, 5 days a week," the presenter said, which would be less expensive than a full‑time hire. The board approved the math contract by voice vote.
These approvals are intended to ensure instruction and specialized services are in place at the start of the school year.
