Discussed Items from Sped Comm. Meeting 4/28/2025
Info Sent to Negotiations Team on 4/29/2025 and E-Board
Items discussed:
- Stipends/Pay: Documents from the ten comparable districts was shared. Those will be given to your team to negotiations to review.
- IEP Meetings: still being held at most sites after hours; we will be pushing back unless we can come to an agreement. We discussed either being compensated for any held outside contract hours or compensated with time (similar to inclement weather) We are not opposed to a formula being used.
- Release Days: Especially with the 5/1 (all sites next year) 6 are not enough. Discussed one a month or even ten days. Elementary RSP caseload requirement should be lowered. 18 was discussed.
We also want to be able to schedule and use the resident sub. If they offer subs an incentive when they take a sped job for release days or pre schedule resident subs. Many don’t get all their days because of no sub.
Too much time is spent working on IEPs. We will also be asking members to push back and work to rule if needed.
