Darien board approves two full-time speech-language pathologist positions for 2025–26
Summary
Trustees approved adding two full-time speech-language pathologist positions for the 2025–2026 school year to expand in-district services; the board said these hires will reduce reliance on outside providers.
The Darien District #61 Board approved adding two full-time speech-language pathologist (SLP) positions for the 2025–2026 school year. The motion passed by roll call with six ayes and one absence (Dr. Ramos).
Board discussion noted the district began the hiring process last school year to ensure a complete in-district SLP team to provide services directly to students and use outside services as needed. "Mrs. Buckels moved the Board to approve the addition of 2 Full-Time Speech Language Pathologist positions for the 2025-2026 School Year," the minutes state.
District staff indicated the change is intended to bring services in-house and support special-education needs; no specific salary or funding-source details were included in the minutes.
