Summary

Dr. Matt Gordon told the board he has been unable to find an onsite speech-language pathologist for 2025–26 and is likely to recommend renewing a discounted agreement with remote provider Huddle Up if no candidate is secured before April 30, 2025.

Superintendent Matt Gordon told the board March 24 that searches for an onsite speech‑language pathologist for the 2025–26 school year have been unsuccessful. He said the district's current remote provider, Huddle Up, is offering a discount for a renewal signed before April 30, 2025, and that he plans to recommend renewal at the next meeting unless a local onsite candidate is found.

The board expressed a preference for onsite SLP services but did not object to pursuing the discounted renewal given current hiring prospects. No contract terms or dollar amounts were included in the minutes; the decision was described as conditional on further staffing efforts.
