Re: Board Report for Dec. 2025
This month I would like to start with expressing my appreciation for all of the support staff throughout the system. The educational technicians in the district help us carry out all of the day to day tasks of supporting kids in the mainstream classroom, providing behavioral support, collecting data, delivering small group instruction and making sure all of the students are where they need to be. On any given day, educational technicians are asked to change their schedule to cover absences, special activities or to respond to a student's immediate need. I appreciate all of their hard work and commitment to our schools and students.
My staff and evaluators are currently working through the referral and evaluation process for 15 students. As we move through this process we will determine individual identification of disabilities and assess the appropriate services. Evaluators are also completing regularly scheduled triennial evaluations creating a very busy testing schedule at this time. We look forward to determining appropriate services for these students and providing specially designed instruction as needed.
We have currently interviewed and recommended educational technician candidates for all open positions. Some of these applicants were willing to start as substitutes helping us fill staffing gaps before the holiday break. We welcome our new educational technician and are happy they are joining our team. We have an educational technician working toward her special education teacher certification and expressing interest in the middle school teaching position. I will continue to help her through this process and help her develop her teaching skills and strategies.
I wish everyone a safe and restful holiday season and look forward to the return of our students after break.
Respectfully Submitted,
Tammy Wyman
