District considers external special education review as hires for therapists and BCBA continue
Summary
Director of Student Services Nora Skentzos raised the possibility of engaging an external special education consultant to review district practices; the board was asked for feedback. Skentzos also reported ongoing hires for a physical therapist, occupational therapist, and a BCBA for ESY planning.
Director of Student Services Nora Skentzos told the board the district is preparing for Extended School Year (ESY) services and is pursuing hires for a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Skentzos asked the board for feedback on potentially engaging an external special education consultant to review district special education practices and procedures.
The minutes record the request for board feedback but do not show a formal vote or contract authorization. "Director of Student Services – Nora Skentzos reports that the district is preparing for ESY and that hirings for a physical therapist, occupational therapist, and a BCBA are ongoing," the minutes state. Any decision to hire a consultant would require a future board action if it involves vendor selection or contracting.
