Board tables item on eliminating special-education assistant position
Summary
During its Oct. 16 special meeting the board adopted the agenda with a change to table Item V, which concerned eliminating a Special Education Assistant position because of reduced student numbers; no substantive discussion or vote on elimination appears in the minutes.
The Darlington Community School District board adopted the meeting agenda with one change: it tabled Item V, described in the minutes as "Discussion and Action regarding eliminating a Special Education Assistant Position due to Reduced Student Numbers." The adoption motion was recorded as "Motion by Winslow, seconded by Stauffacher, to adopt the agenda as presented, with the following change: Table item V." The minutes record that motion as carried.
The minutes list the item as "Tabled" and provide no further debate, vote on the elimination itself, dollar figures, or a timeline for reconsideration. Because the minutes do not record additional discussion, it is not possible to determine from this document whether staff proposed alternatives, which position was affected, or how many students triggered the staffing change.
