Santa Rosa ISD board reviews Wil‑Cam shared special‑education cooperative and funding
Summary
Wil‑Cam director described the shared‑services agreement with Raymondville ISD and a planned IDEA‑B allocation showing $212,639 for Santa Rosa ISD (planning amount). The cooperative will pool staff and services to deliver special education in rural districts.
Reynaldo Flores, Wil‑Cam Special Education Director, presented the Wil‑Cam Pupil Services Cooperative shared‑services arrangement (SSA), describing the joint effort between Raymondville ISD and Santa Rosa ISD to coordinate staff, resources and services for students with disabilities. "The mission of the Wil Cam Co‑op is to ensure each child in our school districts identified with a disability is provided with an appropriate education program that is designed to meet their specific needs," Flores said, outlining the cooperative's staff list, service continuum and governance model.
Slides included financial details from the TEA consolidated grant submission: Santa Rosa ISD's IDEA‑B planning amount was listed as $212,639 with an IDEA‑B preschool amount of $3,039 (total planning amounts in the cooperative packet showed $677,425 across member districts). Flores reviewed the SSA's governance terms — Raymondville ISD as fiscal agent, an Executive Director managing operations, procedures for contracting, and dispute resolution via mediation — and answered procedural questions from trustees about pooled set‑aside funds and service delivery for rural students.
