Raymond #14 School District approves shared-services agreements for nurse and occupational therapy
Summary
The school board approved agreements that keep Yorkville as fiscal agent for a shared school nurse and for occupational therapy services; the nurse covers a multi-school consortium and the occupational therapist splits time across Yorkville, Union Grove High School and Raymond.
The Raymond #14 School District board approved shared-services agreements to continue a shared school nurse and occupational therapy services, a move the board said is meant to maintain services across multiple small schools.
Fiscal agent (first speaking as the district's fiscal agent) described the arrangements: Yorkville is the fiscal agent for school nurse Bridal Nissla, who "does the 3 school or, actually, 5 schools, consortium," and the fiscal agent invoices each school. The speaker also said occupational therapist Madison Kemp "is a percentage at Yorkville, Union Grove High School, and Raymond," with Yorkville serving as fiscal agent for those services. The board member who led the motion asked the group to approve the shared-service agreements "as were outlined in this packet." The motion was seconded and the chair called for the vote; members responded "Aye" and the chair said the motion carries.
Board members did not enumerate dollar amounts or specific service-hour totals during the discussion; one speaker said the nurse's hours are "varied, and she tracks her hours." The fiscal agent said the board is looking for "improvements for those shared services," but did not provide a proposed timeline or staffing change. Details about the exact number of schools in the consortium were reported as uncertain in the discussion (three, then corrected to five).
