Special Education Report

To:  RSU #74 Board of Directors

From:  Tammy Wyman, Special Education Director

Re:  Board Report for Nov. 2025

This month, I would like to begin my board report thanking all of my special education teachers for their willingness to add more students to their case management load.  We have shifted the loads of case managers to help cover part of the middle school caseload.  My teachers were all willing to step up and help cover additional students that were typically their former students from last year.  Their cooperation and hard work are helping me cover the case management load of our system and it is greatly appreciated.

We currently have one hundred thirty seven identified students as we have had two new students move into our district.  We also have 14 students in the referral process at this time.  These students are spread across the district in all three K-5 schools.  As we move through the referral and identification process, we will work to provide services to all newly identified students as well as our existing students.  

I am currently interviewing to fill three open ed tech positions.  We have not yet received applicants for our middle school special education teacher.  Our in-district safety care trainers, Jamie Partridge and Kim Pooler were able to fully certify 16 more staff in safety care and re-certified 6 during the past two staff workshop days.  In the upcoming early release days, my teaching staff will be focusing on completing our self-audit and aligning our paperwork completion with all state requirements

I appreciate all of the hard work and dedication to students that my staff exhibit and look forward to student progress throughout the school year.

Respectfully Submitted,

Tammy Wyman
