Trustees question $46,000 Elevations RTC billing and ask district to verify responsibility
Summary
Trustees pulled a consent item for Elevations RTC (boarder treatment center) and asked staff to confirm whether the district is responsible for an approximately $46,000 bill for services after a student left district enrollment; staff agreed to verify IEP and billing before payment.
Trustees pulled consent item 12DG, a contract/charge related to Elevations RTC (a Utah residential treatment center), and asked staff to verify whether district funds should cover approximately $46,000 in services for a student who had moved out of district enrollment.
A trustee said they did not want to "stick the family for $46,000" without confirming whether the student's Individualized Education Program (IEP) or the receiving district was responsible. Superintendent Crossley and staff said they would verify IEP details and billing responsibility and return to the board if necessary. The board then proceeded with discussion of other pulled consent items.
Trustees emphasized the need for clearer attachments and background information on consent items so the board can perform fiscal oversight; staff acknowledged the shortcoming and committed to including more detailed documentation on future consent items.
