Board approves contract with Texas School Neuropsychology to supplement LSSP services
Summary
With a late departure of a licensed school psychologist, the board approved contracting with Jason Craig (Texas School Neuropsychology) for diagnostician, LSSP and orientation & mobility services at specified hourly rates; the special programs budget includes $10,000 for these assessments for Aug 2024–May 2025.
Becky Weatherford, Executive Director of Special Services, told trustees that the district experienced a late exit of a licensed specialist in school psychology (LSSP) and recommended contracting with Texas School Neuropsychology to supplement testing and assessment services as needed. The vendor is Jason Craig, whose rates listed in the packet are $85 per hour for diagnostician services, $95 per hour for school psychologist services and $150 per hour for orientation and mobility services. Weatherford noted the special programs department has budgeted $10,000 for additional assessments for the 2024–25 school year (Aug. 2024–May 2025).
The board approved the contract as presented in a motion by Mary Anne Leib, seconded by Linda Maxwell. The minutes do not specify expected total hours or an exact spend beyond the budget line; staff will use the contract on an as-needed basis.
