Board approves 2026–27 service agreements including STEPS, TES and ESCNEO
Summary
The board approved multiple 2026–27 service contracts covering specialized student services and transportation — including STEPS Educational Group contracts (two attachments in the packet), the Total Education Solutions agreement, Suburban School Transportation and an ESCNEO admission agreement. Several contract amounts were included in the meeting packet.
The Brecksville‑Broadview Heights City School District Board approved a set of service contracts for the 2026–27 school year to ensure specialized student services and transportation.
The board approved agreements for Total Education Solutions (TES), Suburban School Transportation, STEPS Educational Group and the Educational Service Center of Northeast Ohio (ESCNEO). Documents in the meeting packet show two STEPS contract attachments with listed totals ($100,000.00 and $115,000.00 in the packet) and an ESCNEO placement billing schedule that lists program costs per enrollment day for Positive Education Program and related services. The motions were made and seconded during Superintendent recommendations and carried as listed in the minutes.
The STEPS attachments describe center‑based program hours (for STEPS Academy, Insightful Minds and Willow Farms), expectations for IEP development and quarterly reporting, and the contract term aligned to the 2026–27 school year. The ESCNEO agreement spells out per‑pupil program rates (for example, $322 to $484 per enrollment day depending on program) and notes the educating district is responsible for transporting pupils to ESCNEO placements and for billing responsibilities when the district is not the district of residence.
Board members recorded unanimous votes on the service agreements as shown in the official motion records; the contracts will be implemented by the appropriate special education and transportation staff.
