District leaders say staffing remains priority as SPED and McKinney-Vento caseloads grow
Summary
MTSS Director Kristi Krieg told the board the district has 149 students qualifying for McKinney-Vento services, is working to fill SLP and school psychologist openings, and is coordinating grants and certifications to support special education service delivery.
Kristi Krieg, MTSS Director, described SPED enrollment numbers and grant work and said filling SLP and school psychologist positions requires collaboration among administrators. She reported that 149 students currently qualify for McKinney-Vento services and that Sarah Prock has relieved some IEP paperwork burden at the high school level.
Krieg emphasized that outreach enrollment numbers vary and that monthly meetings with law enforcement have improved working relationships. She framed staffing shortages as the principal barrier to service delivery and outlined ongoing recruitment and certification efforts.
