This is a renewal of our current agreement with IU #5 to provide reading specialist services to St. Joseph's School. If we do not approve this agreement, we would need to assign district staff to provide these services as required by the parameters of our Title I grant. Administration has found that it is more efficient and cost effective to deliver services by using IU personnel.

The Special Education Department requests that we continue to utilize the Barber National Institute (BNI) through consultation and services to support our autistic support programs. The Special Education Department successfully worked closely with the Barber National Institute for the past five school years. We continue to build the autism program as we have successfully offered services that were previously sought for directly at the BNI in Erie. We continue to strive to build this program to meet the unique needs of the A S students through the BNI Behavioral Specialist – autism, autism consultation services, observations of the BNI classes, autism/curriculum/sensory integration specialist, Discrete Trial training, and other services. We have worked with them to provide additional services through their Behavior Specialist.
