Officials say special-ed roles and RBT openings won't be filled immediately
Summary
District staff told the board several social workers and registered behavior technician (RBT) positions are vacant after recent resignations; staff said they are testing alternative supports but may rehire if a student's needs require it.
Staff reported that special-education support positions, including social workers and registered behavior technicians (RBTs), have experienced several recent resignations and that some of those positions are listed as "not filling at this time." Director (S1) said the district is evaluating other mechanisms to meet student needs but acknowledged the district will fill a role if a particular student's needs require specialized support.
A committee member (S2) asked for cost details and staff replied with pay ranges for RBTs and an example social-worker total compensation estimate. Staff emphasized that decisions about reassigning or refilling special-education roles depend on whether qualified candidates apply and on projected student needs.
