Board approves special‑education parent training and mentor payments
Summary
The board authorized $250 payments for parent training and a $2,500 mentor payment to assist a speech‑language pathologist, to be paid from special education grant and 'raise act' funds respectively.
The board approved several special‑education related payments. Chair (speaker 2) read an item authorizing $250 payments each to provide parent training on topics including sensory task completion and bimotor skills for students who qualify for FAPE or under IDEA; the items are to be paid from special education grant funds.
Separately, the board approved $2,500 payable in two installments to Leanne Driver to mentor and assist a current speech‑language pathologist earning competency certificates; the chair indicated the payment will come from special education 'raise act' funds.
Both items were approved by voice votes. The transcript records the listed names (Rebecca Jackson, Leanna Driver) and the stated funding sources but does not include further detail on the number of parents to be served.
