Strategies Used to Control Special Education Costs
• Legal update trainings for Team Chairs/ School Psychologists/Guidance Counselors/School Adjustment
• Development/enhancement of specialized programs – PASS, ESP, SOAR
• Independence Plans and Accountability System for 1:1’s
• Reassignment and staffing of all EA’s to develop two new specialized programs – no fiscal impact
• One Special Education Teacher added at High School through reallocation of teachers based on service delivery and caseload analysis – no fiscal impact
• Reassignment of SLPs – more effective coverage
• Review of contracts/IEP’s to improve accountability and control costs – ABA services, Adaptive Physical Education costs
